... acknowledged. The present results are offered as reference solutions for researchers working with the numerical simulation of foam extrusion and parison formation in blow molding. They are the prelude for a study of combined effects together with non-Newtonian fluids, exhibiting viscoplasticity...

...Evan Mitsoulis Numerical simulations have been undertaken for the benchmark problem of annular extrudate swell present in pipe extrusion and parison formation in blow molding. The effects of weak compressibility and slip at the wall are studied through simple linear laws. The finite element method...

...Han-Xiong Huang; Yan-Sheng Miao Plastics blow molding has grown rapidly for the past couple of decades. Annular parison extrusion is a critical stage in extrusion blow molding. In this work, numerical simulations on the parison extrusion were performed using finite element (FE) method and the Kaye...
