In the future it is intended to develop this approach to three-dimensional flows. The numerical solution of flow past a sphere showed a long thin wake of highly stressed material, which had been seen as a birefringent strand in experiments. Anisotropy in a non-Newtonian material can produce anisotropy in the flow patterns, such as vortices upstream of a contraction. In the future it is intended to study the cross coupling of internal modes in the nonlinear regime. A list of references in this field is available online.
