Notes:
During their industrial processing, polymer liquids are usually subjected to complex flow histories. In principle, these can be taken into account in the constitutive equations. In reality, difficulties arise for complex flows. This fact can be illustrated by the spinning process. Here, experiments are presented in which the upstream section of a spinning device has been changed systematically. A constitutive model and a calculation procedure are suggested that permit an analysis of the upstream effects in the spinning flow. The results indicate that this analysis predicts well the spinning dynamics in the present experiments, using shear flow characteristics for the liquids. It is also concluded that the spinning flow can be altered by upstream changes. The changes in structure seem to be the most pronounced ones.
