Abstract

Two alternatives for the solution of non-linear problems using boundary integrals are presented. First the dual reciprocity method is presented for both flow and heat transfer problems in polymer processing. The technique proved to work well for heat transfer but only marginally for non-linear flow problems. The second form of dealing with non-linearities is a cell integration method. This technique was successfully applied to polymer flow problems which included the shear thinning effect, the most important non-linearity in this type of problems.
