This paper presents numerical results for laminar, incompressible and non-isothermal polymer melt flow in sudden expansions. The mathematical model includes the mass, momentum and energy conservation laws within the framework of a generalized Newtonian formulation. Two constitutive relations are ado

A simple formalism describing the non-isothermal crystallization kinetics in cooling runs at small undercoolings is suggested. A general mathematical method for analyzing processes of non-isothermal phase formation, accounting for the proper temperature course of the nucleation rate and of the linea
Three-dimensional, non-isothermal, polymer melt flow in sudden expansion is numerically investigated. The main goal of the paper is to study the general features of the flow field. The generalized Newtonian formulation is adopted, and the mathematical model corresponds to the laminar, incompressible
