Both some features reported before and new details were observed in simulation of counter flows within cross-slots (acceleration phase). • Among the new ones: the pressure and stresses singularities both at the stagnation point and at the walls corner, flow reversal with vortex-like structures. • The flow reverse is shown to result fromthe wave nature of a viscoelastic fluid flow.
