| - | ===== Calculation of melt vortex | + | ===== Calculation of melt pool formation location ===== |
| - | The location of the melt vortex | + | The location of the melt pool formation describes the distance from the start of the channel to the position where the melt pool forms. For calculating the melting length, it is assumed that the melt film between the barrel and the solid bed gradually increases. The required melt film thickness for the formation of the melt pool corresponds to the average melt film thickness as determined by the conventional melting calculation. Due to the porous structure of the solid bed, the initial heat flux from the barrel is reduced. The lower the barrel temperature and the bulk density of the material in the channel, the further downstream the location of melt pool formation will be. |

| - | The solid bed is deposited on the non-driving (passive) flank of the screw channel. As the plastic melts, it is carried away to the active flank of the screw channel by the relative movement between the screw and barrel and by the ‘scraping’ by the screw flights. This creates a melt vortex, which simultaneously presses the solid bed against the non-driving flank. \\ | + | The solid bed is deposited on the non-driving (passive) flank of the screw channel.

| - | As the melting process continues, the solids bed becomes narrower, but retains its height due to the pressure of the melt vortex. The solid bed width therefore decreases as a result of the melting process. If the channel geometry remains constant, the solids bed width decreases continuously. If the channel volume is reduced (lower channel depth, bigger flights, multi-flight section, lower channel pitch, restriction to the solid channel in barrier screws), the solids bed width increases, as the solids volume flow remains constant. | + | As the melting process continues, the solids bed becomes narrower, but retains its height due to the pressure of the melt pool.
