This paper is concerned with the numerical simulation of the transient effect of an inertialess Boger flow past aconfined circular cylinder and the comparison of predictions with particle image velocimetry (PIV) measurements given byShiang et al., Dynamic simulation based on the Oldroyd-B constitutive model was carried out using a Lagrangian-Eulerianalgorithm. The evolution of velocity field was obtained for the flow at two Deborah (De) numbers, i.e. De = 1.2 and 3.0. Atlow De, the flow reached steady state rapidly, and showed a symmetric flow regime. However, at high De, the time requiredto reach steady flow behind the cylinder increased significantly, and the distribution of the velocity field appears to beasymmetric with respect to the stagnation line. Fairly good agreement between the numerical results and the experimentalobservations is reported. It can be concluded that both the experimental measurements and the present simulations indicatethat the elasticity of the polymeric flow strongly affect the flow regime of viscoelastic flow around a confined cylinder.
