TY  - JOUR
AB - Low-Reynolds-number polymer solutions exhibit a chaotic behaviour known as ‘elastic turbulence’ when the Weissenberg number exceeds a critical value. The two-dimensional Oldroyd-B model is the simplest constitutive model that reproduces this phenomenon. To make a practical estimate of the resolution scale of the dynamics, one requires the assumption that an attractor of the Oldroyd-B model exists; numerical simulations show that the quantities on which this assumption is based are bounded. We estimate the Lyapunov dimension of this assumed attractor as a function of the Weissenberg number by combining a mathematical analysis of the model with direct numerical simulations.
