  6. Introduction Optimisation Results Conclusions Simulation Model Blow Model • Flow of glass and air • Stokes flow problem • Viscous forces dominate • Temperature dependent glass viscosity • Energy exchange in glass and air • Convection diffusion problem • No viscous dissipation • Evolution of glass-air interfaces • Convection problem for level sets

  7. θ = 0 air air θ < 0 θ < 0 θ > 0 glass Introduction Optimisation Results Conclusions Simulation Model Level Set Method • motivation: • fixed finite element mesh • topological changes are naturally dealt with • interfaces implicitly defined • level sets maintained as signed distances

  8. Introduction Optimisation Results Conclusions Simulation Model Computer Simulation Model • Finite element discretisation • One fixed mesh for entire flow domain • 2D axi-symmetric • At equipment boundaries: • no-slip of glass • air is allowed to “flow out”
