This project aims to develop fully coupled flow and energy models to determine the preform structure and fibre-drawing parameters needed to fabricate a desired microstructured optical fibre by stretching of the preform to a fibre. It will focus on polymer to develop a non-Newtonian flow model, which can handle the subset of Newtonian glass fibre drawing. It will develop fast, powerful three-dimensional predictive tools to solve the models and experimentally validate solutions. This work will direct future design of microstructured optical fibres to empower next-generation optical-fibre technologies. Expected outcomes are fibre designs for telecommunications, medicine, biotechnology, sensing and imaging.

该项目旨在开发完全耦合的流动和能量模型，以确定通过将预制件拉伸成纤维来制造所需的微结构光纤所需的预制件结构和纤维拉伸参数。将重点放在聚合物上，开发一个非牛顿流动模型，它可以处理牛顿玻璃纤维拉伸的子集。它将开发快速，强大的三维预测工具来解决模型和实验验证解决方案。这项工作将指导微结构光纤的未来设计，以支持下一代光纤技术。预期成果是用于电信、医药、生物技术、传感和成像的光纤设计。
