AB - Glass wool manufacturing is a multiphysics problem which requires the understanding of the rotational melt-spinning of ten thousands of viscous thermal slender jets by fast air streams.
Due to its high complexity an uniform numerical treatment is impossible. In this work we present
a multimethods approach that is based on an asymptotic modeling framework of slender-body
theory, homogenization and surrogate models. The algorithm weakly couples melting and spinning
phases via iterations. The possibility of combining commercial software and self-implemented code
yields satisfying efficiency off-the-shelf. The simulation results are very promising and demonstrate
the applicability and practical relevance of our approach for ongoing optimization strategies of
the production processes.
