Multiscale Modeling of Expanding Polyurethane Foams via Computational Fluid Dynamics and Population Balance Equation

Summary This study is aimed to formulate a numerical modeling recipe for polyurethane foams. The model is capable of simulating the foam principal characteristics during mold filling. The model is formulated upon coupling of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Population Balance Equation (PBE) to...
