Abstract

We present a model of the draw resonance instability for glass fiber drawing including inertia, gravity, surface tension, and temperature. Using linear stability analysis, we have evidenced, through an alternative scaling, the crucial role of the fiber aspect ratio as a control parameter. It appears that a strong destabilization of the system occurs as this parameter increases. We also show the significant influence of nonhomogeneous ambient temperature on system stability. Contrary to the film casting problem, the high critical draw ratio in industrial applications could be rationalized only for a heat transfer coefficient dependent on both the velocity and cross-sectional area of the fiber.
