The present paper develops an isothermal model for fast (high Deborah number) contraction flows of polymers from a reservoir to a die of circular or rectangular cross-sections. Two components of composite flow models in different regions of the flow domain are connected in succession with the use of asymptotic matching boundary conditions. These components are inhomogeneous elongation and a modified unsteady shearing. It is constructed based on a stable and descriptive set of viscoelastic constitutive equations with the specified material parameters. The present model demonstrates a reasonable good agreement to the experimental/direct numerical data and improves for the higher values of Deborah number and contraction ratio cases without any adjustable parameters. Also it is applicable to any constitutive equation and performs with easy PC numerical calculations.
