Profile Die Design Based on Flow Balancing
-
J. Švábík
Abstract
This paper presents a methodology for the design of profile dies based on the Cross Flow Minimization Method. The flow balancing is described for cases where the flows are balanced by varying the die land length combined with the flow separation. Three different approaches were utilized in the die analysis. First, the flow in two proposed profile dies was calculated by substituting the flow domain by a set of simple geometries. The second approach applied the Cross-Sectional Calculation method, while the last method is a fully 3D FEM non-isothermal calculation. The results are verified by comparison with experimental data. It is shown that each of the calculation procedures may be the choice of preference depending on the geometrical complexity.
