Boundary-Conforming Finite Element Methods for Twin-Screw Extruders: Unsteady - Temperature-Dependent - Non-Newtonian Simulations

Jan Helmig, Marek Behr, Stefanie Elgeti

We present a boundary-conforming space-time finite element method to compute the flow inside co-rotating, self-wiping twin-screw extruders. The mesh update is carried out using the…
