CFD 2D Description of Local Flow of Polymer Workpiece through a modified U-Shaped Die During Equal Channel Multiple Angular Extrusion

The present article is focused on a 2D computational fluid mechanics study of local viscous flow dynamics and the formation character of rotary modes of deformation during Equal Channel Multiple Angular Extrusion (ECMAE) of a polymer workpiece fluid model through a U-shaped die with parallel slants in channel intersection zones. The present local flow problem was experimentally analyzed using physical simulation methods and theoretically studied with numerical fluid mechanics techniques. The computational approach has been grounded on the numerical finite difference solution of the boundary va...
