Abstract
A finite element analysis of the dip coating process with Bingham fluids is presented. The solution method for the viscoplastic flow problem was based on the augmented Lagrangian method allowing a rigorous treatment of the stress discontinuity. To compute the location of the free surface at equilibrium, an iterative method was used based on the arbitrary EulerianโLagrangian approach in conjunction with mesh smoothing. Numerical predictions were validated against experimental data for the Newtonian limit case. Computations were then performed with Bingham fluids. The influence of yield stress on the meniscus flow Is discussed.
