openInjMoldDyMSimAmClr v1.0

DOI

This is a fork of openInjMoldSim for amorphous polymer volumetric relaxation modeling.

This fork and the cases are described in a The cooling rate dependence of the specific volume in amorphous plastic injection molding.

This code is not part of OpenFOAM. It only uses OpenFOAM v3.0.1. To learn about OpenFOAM see openfoam.org, unofficial wiki openfoamwiki.net and the community forum cfd-online.com.

Getting Started

An OpenFOAM 3.0.1 installation is required to run the code.

Run wmake in the openInjMoldDyMSim directory.

Run Allwmake in /tutorials/externalWallHeatFluxTemperatureP/ to include the pressure dependent thermal boundary condition.

Run AllRun in the tutorials directory to run the example simulation. Then run paraFoam in the case directory to view the results.

Functionality

  • Compressible, non-isothermal, laminar cavity flow.
  • Tait equation of state with viscoelastic volume relaxation.
  • Cross-WLF viscosity model.
  • Elastic solidification.
  • Cases model a compliant mold wall implemented through dynamic mesh and a coded boundary condition.

Feedback

Any feedback is apreciated - krebeljk()gmail.com.

Authors

  • Kristjan Krebelj - Assembled and tested the code. Maintainer of the repository.
  • Janez Turk - Introduced the key modifications to the original OpenFOAM library.
