Numerical simulations of viscoelastic flows through an eccentric four-to-one abrupt contraction are carried out using the Giesekus model. The SMAC (Simplified-Marker-and-Cell) method is used to analyze the three-dimensional flows. The velocity profiles along the path line passing through the center of the exit exhibit an overshoot near the entry section, and at high Weissenberg numbers an undershoot follows the overshoot. The magnitude of the stress along the same path line has a peak near the entry section, and its slow relaxation process indicates that a large downstream length is necessary for fully developed stress conditions to exist. The peak is lower than that for the flow through the concentric four-to-one abrupt contraction ; the decrease in the peak amplitude is understood to be due to the distortion of the path line in the eccentric geometry. A corner vortex, the height of which is a maximum at the widest corner, grows as the Weissenberg number increases. Furthermore, the tangential flow toward the widest section inside the vortex is determined.
