Two-phase flow in wire coating with heat transfer analysis of an elastic-viscous fluid (Q504732)

After a short introduction, the authors introduce the two-phase model of an elastic-viscous fluid and state the corresponding equations for continuity, momentum and energy and further properties for a coating wire. In the next section, they deal with the solution of the problem ``to find the analytical solution for the governing nonlinear equation arising in a coating metallic wire process inside a cylindric roll die'' (p.\,2). Here, they apply an optimal homotopy asymptotic method (OHAM) and also an Adomian decomposition method (ADM), where the boundary conditions have to be taken into account. Based on these considerations, they also give the solution of the temperature distribution. Further on, they analyse their results concerning the convergence. Finally, the velocity field is compared with the exact solution, and the different parameters are discussed.
