    Solidification process of molten polymer flowing in a two-dimensional flat channel was simulated with a numerical simulation program developed by considering non-Newtonian flow and crystallization simultaneously. In our crystallization model, effects of non-isothermal, convective, and stress-induced crystallization kinetics were taken into account. The effect of the cooling wall temperature on the velocity distribution and the formation of the skin layer is predicted. The skin layer becomes thicker along the flow direction, owing to the development of a temperature boundary layer, though the skin layer and the temperature boundary layer are not analogical. The skin layer thickness is predicted to be greater with mass velocity under the same cooling wall temperature. Simulated skin layer thickness, affected by stress-induced crystallization in a strong viscous shear flow, agreed with experimental data.

    We have developed a prediction technique for the three-dimensional flow field in the melt conveying zone in intermeshing counter-rotating twin screw extruders with circulation flow by the finite element method. We obtained the details of the velocity and stress fields for the full flight screw and the relationship between circulation flow rates and the screw configurations. It was found that circulation flow rates become large with increasing flight width and decreasing calender gap. We also obtained the spatial distribution, residence time distribution and history of maximum shear stress using a numerical tracer experiment.
