Abstrak

Pemodelan proses pengisian cetakan sangat penting untuk perancangan cetakan untuk pencetakan komposit polimer. Harga software komersial untuk simulasi pengisian cetakan sangat mahal untuk ukuran rata-rata perusahaan Indonesia. Keberadan software yang lebih terjangakau akan mendorong perkembangan teknologi domestik yang berhubungan dengan pencetakan komposit polimer. Paper ini menyajikan pemodelan pengisian cetakan komposit polimer dalam sistem 3 dimensi berbasis metoda numeris control volume finite difference (CV-FD) pada elemen yang tetap (fixed grids). Pemodelan bentuk ujung aliran polimer (front) dilakukan dengan menggunakan metoda volume of fluid (VOF). Profile kecepatan dihitung dengan menggunakan persamaanDarcy untuk sistem 3 dimensi. Perhitungan dilakukan dengan menggunakan bahasa pemrogaman Fortran dan penggambaran hasil perhitungan dilakukan dengan menggunakan Matlab. Model yang dikembangkan dapat mendekati hasil pengukuran secara eksperimen untuk tekanan pada lobang pemasukan (gate) dengan relatf baik. Karena data eksperimen perkembangan ujung aliran olimer tidak ada, maka hasil perhitungan model yang dikembangkan dibandingkan dengan hasil perhitungan dengan menggunakan software yang dikembangkan dan digunakan oleh US NIST. Software yang dikembangakn dapat memperkirakan dengan baik posisi ujung aliran polimer yang dihitung dengan menggunakan software dari US NIST.
