Hi all,

I want to calculate apparent viscosity for my viscoelastic fluid. According to what I have read in references, the formula is:

muApp = Txy / gradUxy

where T is stress tensor and gradU is gradient of velocity vector.
However, when I calculate that, it's contour is wrong!
Do you know what my problem is?

Thanks
