Since non-Newtonian fluids were discovered, their numerous interesting behaviours and potential
uses have been investigated. Particularly, the frequency-dependent properties of wormlike micellar
solutions have risen a good deal of interest among the scientific community. In this report, we have
attempted to simulate those properties using the Giesekus model for viscoelastic fluids and, more
precisely, we have tried to obtain a velocity profile with resonant behaviour inside a cylinder cavity.
The computational environment chosen to perform the simulations is OpenFOAM, an open-source
CFD program with great flexibility and capabilities. The results confirm a resonant response to
oscillating boundary conditions, although perfect stationary-like velocity profiles were not obtained.
