Abstract
We prove the nonexistence of finite time self-similar singularities in an ideal viscoelastic flow in ℝ³. 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 selfsimilar singularities in our system. The present work extends the results obtained by Chae in the case of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD).
