Notes:
It is shown that the flow instability of polymer melts occurring above a certain critical shear stress is a direct result of the degree of non-Newtonian behavior of the flowing liquid. Melt fracture, elastic turbulence, and slip-stick effects are a consequence of this instability, which frequently leads to periodic phenomena. The condition for the occurrence of flow instability is derived.
