Abstract

This paper is concerned with the numerical solution of polymer melt flows of both extrudate-swell and tube-tooling die-extrusion coatings, using a hybrid finite element/finite volume discretisation (fe/fv). Extrudate-swell presents a single dynamic free-surface, whilst the complex polymer melt coating...
