Non-isothermal free-surface viscous flow of polymer melts in pipe extrusion using an open-source interface tracking finite volume method

Polymer extrudate swelling is a rheological phenomenon that occurs after polymer melt flow emerges at the die exit of extrusion equipment due to molecular stress relaxations and flow redistributions. Specifically, with the growing demand for large scale and high productivity, polymer pipes have rece...
