Abstract
This paper deals with the parameter identification for polyurethane foaming process simulation by using an inverse analysis coupled with a Finite Pointset Method. Simultaneous measurements of the foam height rise, the reaction temperature and the viscosity on a cylindrical cardboard test tube are obtained by using the foam measurement system (FOAMAT). The simulation of the foam expansion is obtained by solving unsteady Navier-Stokes equations coupled with the energy equation, the curing reaction (reaction of isocyanate with polyol) and the foaming reaction (reaction of isocyanate with water to emit the CO2 gas) by using a mesh-free method. The inverse identification method consists in determining the parameters by comparing the computed quantities (height rise, reaction temperature and viscosity) computed by the finite pointset method to those measured experimentally.
