Industry applications: Extrusion, polymer processing, coating
-
Supension balance models (Phillips model for particle concentration, Krieger for viscosity)
Industry applications: Multiphase manufacturing flows
-
Single or multimode viscoelastic with EVSS split stress approach
Industry applications: Extrusion, polymer processing, coating
