Abstract

An improved flow model for simulating flow in batch and continuous twin rotor mixers and extruders is presented. The model adopts an Eulerian point of view from the stationary barrel surface. It incorporates Couette flow analysis, which accounts for the curvature effects in the non-intermeshing region, and correction factors for treatment of flow near the bounding sidewalls of a batch mixer. A method for tracking the motion of fluid particles is presented.
