A numerical simulation for polymeric foaming extrusion processes was conducted. Combining classical nucleation rate and bubble growth models with a non-Newtonian fluid model of a flow, a simultaneous bubble nucleation and growth behavior in a flow field was simulated. Simulation results were compared with the experimental data obtained by visual observations at a foaming extruder, where a polypropylene resin was physically foamed. The effects of physical parameters in foaming model on bubble size and number density calculation were intensively examined by sensitivity analysis.
