Flat Glass Forming Simulation
Besides Mathematical Simulation Studies for the mentioned processes, Glass Service offers Mathematical Simulation Studies for Flat Glass Forming Processes, and in particular:
- Float Glass (Tin Bath)
- TFT & LCD (Overflow)
- Patterned Glass (Rolling)
Specific Benefits:
Float Glass
Glass Forming in the tin bath:
- Detail 3D flow of the glass in the spout lip area
- Thermal conditions in the entire tin bath area
- Nitrogen/hydrogen flow in the superstructure
- Tin flow
- Glass ribbon shape with the thickness distribution and ribbon width along the whole length of the tin bath
TFT & LCD
Glass Forming by Overflow:
- Detail 3D flow of the glass in the overflow area
- Glass ribbon shape with the thickness distribution and ribbon width along the whole length of the forming
Patterned Glass
Glass Forming by Rolling:
- Detail 3D flow of the glas before, between abd after the rollers
- Glass ribbon shape with the thickness distribution and ribbon width
Example:
The graphic shows the detail of the initial part of the tin bath:
- Thermal condition and ribbon shape
- Restrictors and ribbon spread
- Top rollers implemented
