Non-Newtonian Flow in an Extrusion Die

This example models flow of a polymer through an extrusion die with two outlets. This type of flow can for example be found in manufacturing processes of plastic parts. The polymer is assumed to be non-Newtonian, and can be modeled with a shear thinning Bird-Carreau viscosity model. The die is also assumed to be …
