The low-rate falling-plate extensional rheometer experiments by Sridhar and coworkers on a mobile polymer solution were simulated using a free-surface finite-element code which accounts for gravity and surface tension. There is a reverse flow near the plates which is caused by the interaction between gravitational and surface tension forces, causing a delay in the development of the uniform cylindrical column and a difference between the local and imposed extension rates during the early stages of the experiment.
