## Abstract In microinjection molding, when dimensions of molded parts, and thus the cavity are small, cavity roughness may become significant for the filling of polymer melt. In this paper, cavity roughness effects on filling polymer melt flow into a thin circular cavity were investigated numerica
Modelling of free surface flows of polymeric melts in cold, complex-shaped cavities is an essential part of computer-aided design in injection molding. Such flows are invariably accompanied by wall solidification which, in crystallizing polymers, is followed by crystallization and the development of
We present analytical and numerical calculations of the effective roughness length (ERL) over a flat surface with varying roughness elements, for use in large-scale models. It is shown that ERL is mostly determined by the roughest elements present inside the averaging domain and that, more surprisin
