TY - JOUR AU1 - Götz, T. AU2 - Perera, S. AB - An optimal-control problem for a mathematical model of a melt-spinning process is considered. Newtonian models with constant viscosity and temperature-dependent viscosity are used to describe the rheology of the polymeric material, the fiber is made of. The extrusion velocity of the polymer at the spinneret, as well as the velocity and temperature of the quench air serve as control variables. A constrained-optimization problem is derived and a first-order optimality system is set up to obtain the adjoint equations. Numerical solutions are carried out using a steepest-descent algorithm.
