title = "A three-dimensional flow analysis of film/ sheet extrusion dies coupled with die body deflection analysis",
abstract = "The coat-hanger dies are widely used in the plastic film and sheet extrusion industry. The quality of the product and power requirements of the extrusion machine depend on the flow homogeneity at the exit and pressure drop, respectively. For die manufacturers, designing the die capable of providing uniform flow at the die outlet and low pressure drop is particularly challenging. However, many numerical studies conducted on the analysis of the die pressure drop and exit flow homogeneity do not consider the deformation of the die body. This study revealed how very small displacement of the die slit may distort the flow homogeneity and increase the pressure drop. The two-way coupled fluid-structure interaction approach was proposed using the Ansys Fluent and Ansys Static-Structural software programs to study the flow behaviour in the die subjected to deformation.",
