Abstract:The blend morphology model developed by Wong et al., based on Peters et al., is used to investigate the development of the disperse polymer blend morphology in twin-screw extruder flow. First, the model is written in a point-wise form suitable for using in conjunction with particle tracking. Particle tracking methods are used to generate trajectories along the flow field. Macroscopic droplet populations are placed along these trajectories and the velocity gradient tensor is extracted and applied on the point-w… Show more
