Simulation of pressure-tooling wire-coating flow with Phan-Thien/Tanner models. (English) Zbl 1098.76575
Summary: Annular pressure-tooling extrusion is simulated for a low density polymer melt using a Taylor-Petrov-Galerkin finite element scheme. This represents industrial-scale wire-coating. Viscoelastic fluids are modeled via three forms of Phan-Thien/Tanner (PTT) constitutive laws employed for short-die and full specification pressure-tooling. Effects of variation in Weissenberg number (We) and polymeric viscosity are investigated. Particular attention is paid to mesh refinement to predict accurate results. The impact of variation in shear-thinning and strain-softening properties is considered upon the modelling predictions. For the short-die flow, the influence of the lack of strain softening is identified. For the full-die flow and more severe deformation rates, the linear PTT model failed to converge. In contrast, the exponential PTT model is found to be more stable numerically and to adequately reflect the material response. Comparing short-die and full-die pressure-tooling results, shear rates increase 10-fold, while strain rates increase one hundred times.
