Funded Activity Summary
Mathematics the key to modern glass and polymer fibre technology. 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.Funded Activity Details
