Abstract:
We prove the nonexistence of finite time self-similar singularities in
an ideal viscoelastic flow in R^3.
We exclude the occurrence of Leray-type self-similar singularities under
suitable integrability conditions on velocity and deformation tensor.
We also prove the nonexistence of asymptotically self-similar singularities
in our system. The present work extends the results obtained by Chae in
the case of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD).
