The planar entry flow behavior of polymer melts: an experimental and numerical analysis

The planar entry flow behavior of polystyrene, LDPE, and HDPE has been observed experimentally. The purpose of the work was to determine the cause of vortex growth and explain why this phenomenon occurs in some polymers but not in others. To accomplish this a die was constructed in which nearly any...
