Free surface flows are common in the design and manufacture of consumer products used in both, the home and office environment. Designing such a process to minimize waste while maximizing production speed can lead to significant cost savings over time. This simulation shows the filling of a Hair Relaxer in a jar. The hair relaxer has a very high viscosity of 100000 cP. The jar rotates at a constant speed of 30 RPM while the nozzles feed the hair relaxer at a rate of 8.33 cu-cm/s. FLOW-3D can be used to accurately simulate and optimize such consumer product designs with the help of its advanced multiphysics models including air entrainment, porous media, and surface tension.
