A viscoelastic numerical scheme based on Smoothed Particle Dynamics is presented. The concept goes a step beyond Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) which is a grid free Lagrangian method describing the flow by fluid-pseudo particles. The relevant properties are interpolated directly on the resulting movable grid. In this work the effect of viscoelasticity is incorporated into the ordinary conservation laws by a differential constitutive equation supply for the stress tensor. In order to give confidence in the methodology we explicitly consider the non-stationary simple corotational Maxwell model in a channel geometry. Without further developments the scheme is applicable to `realistic' models relevant for three-dimensional viscoelastic (viscoplastic, etc.) flows in complex geometries. for LaTeX users @article{MEllero2002-105, author = {M.
