This work presents different formulations to obtain the solution for the Giesekus constitutive model for a flow between two parallel plates. The first one is the formulation based on work by Schleiniger, G; Weinacht, R.J., [Journal of Non-Newtonian Fluid Mechanics, 40, 79–102 (1991)]. The second formulation is based on the concept of changing the independent variable to obtain the solution of the fluid flow components in terms of this variable. This change allows the flow components to be obtained analytically, with the exception of the velocity profile, which is obtained using a high-order numerical integration method. The last formulation is based on the numerical simulation of the governing equations using high-order approximations. The results show that each formulation presented has advantages and disadvantages, and it was investigated different viscoelastic fluid flows by varying the dimensionless parameters, considering purely polymeric fluid flow, closer to purely polymeric fluid flow, solvent contribution on the mixture of fluid, and high Weissenberg numbers.
