Abstract

The transport equations for a power law fluid are used to solve the transient and non‐isothermal problem of filling a disk‐shaped cavity. Using the results obtained it is possible to predict gate pressures, fill times and short shots. Furthermore, the velocity and temperature fields can be obtained throughout the filling process. This information specifies the formation of a frozen surface layer during filling. Rigid PVC was primarily used in the simulations, but some results are also given for linear polyethylene, nylon 6–6, ABS and polystyrene.
