Abstract

In this paper we simulate the flow of a Newtonian fluid in a tangential counter-rotating twin screw extruder using a cylindrical coordinate lubrication theory model. Special attention is given to the material flows leading to mixing specially to inter-screw and backward leakage between the screws, and how they vary with process conditions.
