    Abstract

    The transient behavior and stability of film blowing have been investigated solving the governing equations consisting of the movingboundary partial differential equations. Incorporating an orthogonal collocation on finite elements and a coordinate transformation, a new numerical scheme was devised to obtain previously unavailable transient solutions. The scheme overcomes severe numerical problems, that are encountered especially when the process is in a periodic oscillation called draw resonance. These simulation results provide, for the first time, temporal pictures which are close to those observed experimentally, and enable a systematic analysis of the process as regards its stability, multiplicity, sensitivity and stabilization strategies.
