We present a computational study of planar extrudate swell flows of Newtonian liquids with a viscous liquid–gas interface. The model consists of the equations of motion coupled with the Boussinesq–Scriven constitutive equation for the interfacial stress tensor. The resulting set of equations is solved with the finite element method coupled with an elliptic mesh generation strategy to capture the free...
