| Abstract: | A finite element/Monte–Carlo method is proposed for solving the flow of a polymer dilute solution. The mass and momentum equations
are supplemented with stochastic differential equations which model the dynamics of the polymer chains. Finite elements and
a Monte–Carlo method are used to solve the problem. A theoretical analysis is performed on a simplified, deterministic, Oldroyd-B
problem. Numerical results are compared to experimental ones.
