摘      要：Die swell is an important phenomenon in polymer processing, and is explained usually by rheological properties of the fluid. Because of the nonuniform of temperature distribution on the free surface of the liquid jet, the thermocapillary convection driven by surface tension gradient exists. The rheological fluid flowing out of a die and painting on a moving solid wal is studied by the numerical finite element method of a two-dimensional and unsteady model in the present paper, and both the rheological effect of a non-Newtonian fluid and the thermocapillary effect are considered. The results show that both effects will enlarge the cross-section of the fluid jet, and the rheological effect of non-Newtonian fluid dominates the process in general.
