Motivation Investigate instability mechanism in melt blowing
Initial setup • Used to measure Lagrangian motion
Eulerian Results Fast Fourier Transform
Harmonics Many harmonics, few that make a difference
Snapping Point Determine correlation between string length and snapping length or air velocity and snapping length
Snapping point error Gravity causes artificial snapping point-makes unreliable results New setup
Revised Measurement Strategy Using a fixed-length criteria skews results Compare ratios of width to snapping length
Future Work Conclusion: 2 months is not enough Use the frequencies found in the FFT to augment theoretical model Analyze the movement of the string in a vertical position Use polymer solution to simulate melt blowing and to compare it to the thread movement model
