Abstract

This study investigates the numerical solution of viscous and viscoelastic flows for tube-tooling die-extrusion coating using a hybrid finite element/finite volume discretisation (fe/fv). Such a complex polymer melt extrusion-draw-coating flow displays a dynamic contact line, slip, die-swell and two s...
