Numerical results show good qualitative agreement with experimental results. It is verified that TSE is a better mixing device than single screw extruder (SSE) and can achieve finer droplets. This revealed that continuous reorientation in the TSE process could produce fine droplets and the best mixing efficiency. Fundamental hydrodynamic micro-mechanisms in a TSE are simulated by a piecewise linear (PLIC) volume-of-fluid (VOF) method coupled with the continuum surface force (CFS) algorithm. A brief review of fabrication methods for immiscible alloys is given, and fluid flow aspects of a novel fabrication method – rheomixing by twin-screw extruder (TSE) are analysed. The concept of multi-controll is proposed for classifying complex processes and identifying individual processes in an immiscible alloy system in order to perform simulations. This paper presents a hydrodynamic analysis of binary immiscible metallurgical flow by a numerical simulation of the rheomixing process.
