The aim of this work is to present a numerical study of generalized Oldroyd-B flows with shear-thinning viscosity in a curved pipe of circular cross section and arbitrary curvature ratio. Flows are driven by a given pressure gradient and behavior of the solutions is discussed with respect to different rheologic and geometric flow parameters.
