The thixotropic stress dependent on material microstructure is incorporated via viscosity approach into generalized Navier-Stokes equations. The full system of equations is solved in a monolithic framework based on Newton-Multigrid FEM Solver. The developed solver is used to analyse the thixotropic viscoplastic flow problem in 4:1 contraction configuration.en510Text
