Die Swell for Newtonian Fluids.

Abstract

The swelling and shrinking of Newtonian jets issuing from circular orifices or slits has been examined. Equations predicting die swell ratio and downstream flow characteristics are developed. The scatter of experimental data has been studied and the factors contributing to this phenomenon are presented. The die swell ratios and jet shapes versus Reynolds numbers for Newtonian liquids are empirically shown. (Author)
