This monograph presents a methodology for simulating non-isothermal viscoelastic incompressible fluid flows where the viscosity and the relaxation time of the fluid are temperature-dependent. The viscoelasticity of the fluid is modeled by the Oldroyd-B and PTT (Phan-Thien-Tanner) models, where the temperature-dependent parameters are modeled by the WLF (Williams-Landel-Ferry) formulation. The numerical methodology used to solve the non-isothermal model is based on the MAC method for viscoelastic fluid flows via projection method. In this methodology, the Navier-Stokes equations and the Oldroyd-B and PTT constitutive equations are discretized by the finite difference method on a staggered grid. The numerical method was verified by simulation two-dimensional non-isothermal Poiseuille flow. Finally, the numerical methodoly was apllied for solving the 4 : 1 contraction problem in order to analyze the influence of parameters on the vortex dynamic.
