    5. www.kostic.niu.edu/extrusion Flow Boundary Conditions The flow inlet is given by fully developed volumetric flow rate At the walls the flow is given as zero velocity, i.e. vn = vs = 0 A symmetry plane with zero tangential forces and zero normal velocity, fs = vn =0 are applied at half plane of the geometry. Free surface is specified for the moving boundary conditions of the die with atmospheric pressure, p = p?.The different pressure (N2 gage pressure) in inside-surface of the hole will be applied in our new simulation Exit for the flow is specified as, fs = fn = 0. The different normal force (pulling force) will be applied in our new simulation.
