1Introduction
Duringinjectionmolding,thetheologicalresponseofpolymermeltsisgenerallynon-Newtonianandnoisothermalwiththepositionofthemovingflowfront.Becauseoftheseinherentfactors,itisdifficulttoanalyzethefillingprocess.Therefore,simplificationsusuallyareused.Forexample,inmiddle-planetechniqueanddualdomaintechnique[1],becausethemostinjectionmoldedpartshavethecharacteristicofbeingthinbutgenerallyofcomplexshape,theHele-Shawapproximation[2]isusedwhileananalyzingtheflow,i.e..Thevariationsofvelocityandpressureinthegapwise(thickness)dimensionareneglected.Sothesetwotechniquesareboth2.5Dmoldfillingmodels,inwhichthefillingofamoldcavitybecomesa2Dprobleminflowdirectionanda1Dprobleminthicknessdirection.
However,becauseoftheuseoftheHele-Shawapproximation,theinformationthat2.5Dmodelscangenerateislimitedandincomplete.Thevariationinthegapwise(thickness)dimensionofthephysicalquantitieswiththeexceptionofthetemperature,whichissolvedbyfinitedifferencemethod,isneglected.Withthedevelopmentofmoldingtechniques,moldedpartswillhavemoreandmorecomplexgeometryandthedifferenceinthethicknesswillbemoreandmorenotable,sothechangeinthegapwise(thickness)dimensionofthephysicalquantitiescannotbeneglected.Inaddition,theflowsimulatedlooksunrealisticinasmuchasthemeltpolymerflowsonlyonsurfacesofcavity,whichappearsmoreobviouswhentheflowsimulationisdisplayedinamouldcavity.
