Fig. 14.11 Schematic representation of fiber spinning process simulation scheme showing the multiple scale simulation analysis down to the molecular level. This is the goal of the Clemson University-MIT NSF Engineering Research Center for Advanced Engineering Fibers and Films (CAEFF) collaboration. CAEFF researchers are addressing fiber and film forming and structuring by creating a multiscale model that can be used to predict optimal combinations of materials and manufacturing conditions, for these and other processes.
