Moldflow Second Order Viscosity model

The Moldflow second order viscosity model describes the temperature and shear rate dependence of the viscosity using a quadratic formulation.

The viscosity model is given by the following equation: where:

  • is the viscosity (Pa s)
  • is the shear rate (1/s)
  • is the temperature (deg C).
  • and to are data-fitted coefficients
Note: The second order viscosity model requires temperature values in degrees Celsius, whereas the Cross-WLF viscosity model requires temperature values in Kelvin.
