Effect of geometry and fill level on the transport and mixing behaviour of a co-rotating twin screw extruder

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...
