Effect of geometry and fill level on the transport and mixing behaviour of a co-rotating twin screw extruder
- Abstract:
-
The transport and mixing properties of a co-rotating twin screw extruder with both screw elements and kneading blocks are explored using the smoothed particle hydrodynamics method. The use of a Lagrangian method enables simulation of extruders partially or fully filled with fluid and is not limited by problems associated with extreme mesh deformation due to the opposite rotation of the impellors or the small gaps between them. The cross-channel and axial fluid transport and mixing in the scre...
