SIMULATIONS

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
