Abstract:As fiberoptics industries have been attempting to use a silica preform of larger diameter in order to reduce facility down time and increase optical fiber manufacturing productivity, this computational study investigates how the use of large sized preform in sized up draw furnace affects high speed glass fiber drawing process. Present computational model for glass fiber drawing simulations employs iterative scheme between one-dimensional momentum balance model for neck-down profile of heated and softened prefo… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
