Abstract

As a macromolecule material, melted rubber flow shows characteristics of shear thinning fluid. The dynamic viscosity of this rubber fluid is influenced by temperature and shear strain rate. In this study, the numerical simulation of rubber extrusion forming process has been performed using commercial CFD code, Polyflow. Power-law model considering the effect of shear rate is used for the computer simulation of this non-Newyonian flow. Also Non-isothermal behavior is considered as Arrhenius-law model. Distributions of velocity and temperature are predicted through the simulation.
