## Abstract The flow and mixing in a 3D geometrically accurate representation of a twin sigma blade mixer is simulated using the finite element method (FEM) combined with the mesh superimposition technique as implemented by Polyflow (Fluent, Inc.) to calculate the velocity, velocity gradients, shea

Twin screw extruders are common for mixing and compounding of different polymers and additives in the production of materials with enhanced properties. However, the flow field and resulting mixing that occur inside these extruders are not well understood. For gaining a better understanding of the fl
In the description of mixing processes influenced by viscosity in pseudoplastic (power-law) fluids, a definition of representative viscosity is normally used which takes into account the variable flow behaviour of the stirred material as a result of different shear stresses. In this context, the Met
