    Notes: Abstract A Galerkin finite element method is used along with a self-adaptive strategy of domain discretisation to model dispersion in an axisymmetric cylindrical porous medium. A solution strategy is proposed based on the use of a Gear scheme for the time stepping and partial vectorisation of the code. The domain is highly discretised in the area of the sharp transient front, while the remainder is coarsely discretised. The area covered by the fine mesh is determined by the value of the local concentration gradients. Numerical results are presented for the one and two dimensional cases.

    Notes: A new finite element model named Corrected Slice Method (CSM) has been developed to cope with three-dimensional vacuum cooling calibrator problems. Such problems appear whenever the cooling channel lay-out comprises transverse channels in the calibrator. The CSM is an extension of the 2D approach (8), which takes into account the axial heat fluxes within the calibrator. The proposed model was validated by comparing the numerical results obtained on a test problem with a rigorous finite element approach. Moreover, a real complex profile-calibrator system was simulated in order to illustrate the full performance of the porposed method.

    Notes: Research has been carried out on the use of NCS (Network Computing System) to distribute the processing of a finite element application to multiple computers at once. Coarse-grained parallelism of specific routines on loosely coupled CPUs has been implemented and tested. In a step-by-step fashion, the method of using NCS to convert finite element software POLY2D is explained for its application in parallel computing resources throughout a network. For the modeling of a simple conductive heat transfer problem, the distributed version of POLY2D on a homogeneous token ring network of nine Apollo workstations is used. Some timings given are compared to those obtained from a standard nondistributed simulation.

    Notes: A finite element analysis was carried out to study the mixing patterns of a viscous Newtonian fluid into a stirred tank. A helical ribbon screw impeller (HRS) was used as the mixing device. The numerical simulation involved the full three-dimensional resolution of the equations of change governing the flow in the tank. The circulation time and the torque were determined and compared with experimental data. A good agreement was found, showing the usefulness of the numerical approach for design purposes.

    Notes: The metering operation in the transfer-roll coating process is crucial for achieving a good uniformity and suitable thickness of the coating film. Experimental results carried out on a laboratory coater are reported. This coater mimics industrial flow conditions: it has a transfer roll and a metering-rod diameter similar to those found on a pilot coater, it operates at commercial speed, and the cover of the transfer roll is deformable. The experimental apparatus is described first. Then, a video analysis of the rib pattern is presented. Some interesting features are shown, in particular the existence of an inertia regime at high speed. The nip flow hydrodynamics are investigated using measurements of the pressure profile. It is shown that the film stability is strongly linked to the flow at the exit of the nip. The analysis of the maximum pressure in the nip, for various fluid viscosities and operating parameters, is represented using a master curve.

    Notes: Transient heat transfer in a mechanically agitated vessel is studied in the case of an anchor and an helical ribbon impeller using Newtonian and shear thinning fluids. Temperature stratification is found more pronounced with the anchor, making this impeller clearly inadequate for heat transfer. The impact of natural convection is evaluated first using the classical Gr/Re2 ratio. It is shown that the use of this criterion in viscous mixing is somewhat misleading. A new Grashof number is then proposed to assess the significance of the viscous and buoyancy effects in non-isothermal, non-Newtonian mixing applications. It is shown that the interpretation of this new number is strongly related to the concept of process viscosity.

    Notes: The thermal dependence of the parameters of the Carreau A model of viscosity has been investigated for 13 polymeric resins. It was shown that the zero-shear viscosity and the time constant obey an Arrhenius-type law and that, for these parameters, compensation effects are exhibited. The shear-thinning index was found to be fairly independent of temperature. An important consequence of a compensation effect is that only one determination of a parameter at a given temperature gives the complete temperature-dependence of this parameter.

    Notes: The effect of mesh refinement on the finite element computation of velocity and pressure is assessed for the creeping flow of a power law fluid and a Carreau fluid through an axisymmetric sudden contraction. The emphasis is placed on the determination of the entrance pressure correction nent. The augmented Lagrangian formalism is used and the discretization of the variational problem is based on the Crouzeix-Raviart triangular element. For power-law fluids, it is found that fine meshes yield values of nent which are significantly lower than those obtained in previous numerical studies, especially for high shear-thinning fluids. A similar trend is observed in the Carreau model.

    Notes: A computer model has been developed to simulate the behavior of molten polymer in the melt conveying zone of extruders. This model, based on a hybrid finite difference/finite element resolution of the equations of change governing momentum and heat transfer, allows the prediction of the pressure profile while accounting for wall end effects as well as the solid bed velocity. Simulation results are compared with analytical and finite difference method results found in the literature. A fairly good agreement is obtained in the case of low density polyethylene. Numerical tests are also carried out with rigid poly(vinyl chloride) compound used for window profile extrusion. The good agreement found between the predictions and experimental measurements obtained on an industrial extruder confirms the performance of the proposed model.
