2. General equations of viscous fluid mechanics

The equations of continuum mechanics form the basis for modeling flows in extrusion dies. However, a number of specificities linked to the physical properties of polymers in the molten state will make this approach particular.

2.1 Specificity of polymer melt flows

2.1.1 High viscosity

The average viscosity of a flowing polymer melt is in the range 10 2 to 10 4 Pa · s.
