Abstract

In this study, a three‐dimensional (3D) flow model is used to approximate the crystallinity gradients of slowly crystallizing polymers developed in the injection molding process. A generalized second order parallel splitting formula is constructed to achieve both the accuracy and efficiency of the computation. Calculated values of flow‐wise (flow‐thickness plane) and width‐wise (width‐thickness plane) crystallinity distributions are obtained and compared with experimental results. The structure‐oriented simulation method developed is not only capable of describing moldability parameters, but is also able to predict the characteristics of ultimate properties of the final products.
