    Two flows occurring in injection molding are investigated numerically. The first situation is injection of a melt into a disk mold. Assuming cylindrical symmetry, a fully developed velocity field, and a time- dependent temperature field, and with some strong simplifications for the temperature dependence of the viscosity, the resulting equations are derived for a power law fluid, and the temperature equation is solved numerically, using operator splitting and implicit difference schemes. The second situation is steady flow in a circular tube prior to injection, which is treated similarly for an upper-convected Maxwell fluid, using this time an explicit difference scheme for the temperature equation. No further analysis of the problem is given. Some numerical results are presented.
