A linear stability analysis of multilayer flow of viscoelastic liquids through long, converging dies is performed by a rigorous two-dimensional analysis (2-D), as well as by a simplified one-dimensional analysis (1-D) on selected cross-sections along the die. The rheological behavior of liquids is represented by a modified Oldroyd-B model with a shear-rate dependent viscosity, described by the Carreau viscosity function. The effect of the die geometry on the neutral stability curves is investigated for various operating conditions and rheological parameters. In all the investigated cases, the critical flow-rate ratios in long converging channels are found to be independent of the shapes, and of the ratios of the thicknesses at the inlet to the outlet of the die.
