It has been shown by various experiments that elongated or wormlike micelles exhibit a unique viscoelastic behaviour yielding a non-linear flow [1]. The theoretical descriptions for this phenomenon can be either of tensorial form [2] or they correspond to one-dimensional models including additional degrees of freedom, e.g. a coupling of the mechanical variables and the microstructure [3]. Such a coupling yields a destabilization in the high shear rate branch of the flow curve as well as interesting dynamical states such as oscillatory and/or chaotic states. To improve the performance of this specific model and for a better (quantitative) comparison to experimental results, we explore the possibilities of introducing additional terms to describe the high shear rate behaviour. We also include concentration effects which strongly influence e.g., branching in wormlike micellar systems.
