Interplay Between Inertia and Elasticity in Film Casting
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The influence of inertia and boundary conditions on the steady state and stability of isothermal film casting of viscoelastic fluids is examined using a Phan-Thien–Tanner rheological model. The elongational flow between the die exit and the take-up point is investigated. In general, the steady-state film tends to contract for low-inertia flow; this contraction, however, is significantly diminished by inertia. The polymeric normal stresses and primary normal stress difference decrease in the most of the air gap as inertia increases. In contrast, the stress and stress difference increase considerably near the take-up point due to a dramatic increase in the elongation rate. The linear stability analysis for two-dimensional disturbances is carried out. For a polymer with no degradation, and in the absence of inertia (Re=0), the analysis predicts critical draw ratios that form an envelope to an unstable region. This region of unstable conditions reduces as inertia increases. Two branches of neutral stability curve are observed for higher-inertia flow as opposed to a single curve for Re=0. The unstable region expands as α increases, where α is a measure of polymer degradation. When α becomes sufficiently large, the elasticity tends to destabilize the flow. It is also found that boundary conditions have an important influence on the steady-state profiles and stability region, particularly for high-elasticity fluids.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
