CFD code for the forming of glass fibers

Renate von der Ohe

"In order to model a glass fibre forming process, we are looking for the right code. The process has large gradients in temperature and viscosity, and both convection and radiation heat transfer is present. The most challenging feature though is the large deformation of the free surface. The fibres are stretched from an instability on a melt surface into a long, thin fibre. We would be grateful for any ideas of which software could be able to simulate this process."

Thanks,

Renate
