On computation of two and three‐dimensional unsteady thermal non‐newtonian flows

Abstract

In this article we report on progress in the development of software tools for fluid flow prediction in the polymer processing industry. This involves state‐of‐the‐art numerical techniques and the study of a number of non‐trivial model flow problems, in an effort to investigate realistic transient problems relevant to industrial processes. Here we study particularly the effects of variations in non‐Newtonian and heat transfer properties of the flowing materials in the flows, both throughout the transient development period and at steady‐state.
