Abstract

This work deals with the 1-dimensional modeling and simulation of the viscous flow of polymers in flat film, round hole and circular ring dies considering realistic constitutive equations like that of Carreau, Cross or Yasuda, the pressure and temperature dependence of the polymeric melt and difficult boundary conditions like moving wall conditions (e. g. coating of sheets or cables). Furthermore, viscoplastic models like that of Bingham, Herschel-Bulkley [9], Casson as well as a new viscoplastic model published be Kneidinger et al. in 2021. The work shows how this simulation can be done using standard spreadsheet software. Furthermore, an easy-to-use spreadsheet file will be provided. This file can be used to determine both the throughput as a function of pressure and the pressure required to achieve a predefined throughput and helps to fit model parameters.
