The current capabilities of numerical codes, which able to model very
complex processes, and the existing powerful computational resources, clearly
promote the employment of numerical modeling tools to assist design-related
tasks. The Computational Rheology Group, from the Institute for Polymers and
Composites (IPC) of the University of Minho (UMinho),
has been developing and exploiting modeling codes for more than one decade,
with a special focus on polymer processing applications. During the last 6
years, most of the numerical developments of the Computational Rheology Group were
based on the OpenFOAM® computational library.
This talk aims at providing an overview of the computational
rheology-related work done at IPC/UMinho, in close cooperation with industry,
and at illustrating the advantages of using the computational library OpenFOAM®
for the development of new codes. The presentation will cover both the work
done by the group to support the design of polymer processing tools and the
development of new solvers in the OpenFOAM®
computational library.
