Abstract

The linear stability of co-extrusion flow of two upper convected Maxwell fluids through a pipe at low Reynolds numbers is studied for arbitrary wavelength disturbances. The fluids interface can become unstable due to various mechanisms. It is shown that elasticity of the fluids can stabilize the capillary instability and a linearly stable interface can be achieved by appropriate choice of controlling parameters.
