    Abstract

    Multilayer ceramics and their application have increased recently. One of the most common ways used to produce these products is tape casting. In this process the wet tape thickness is one of the most determining parameters
    affecting the final properties of the product and it is therefore of great interest to be able to control it. In the present work the flow of La0.85Sr0.15MnO3 (LSM) material in the doctor blade region is modelled numerically with ANSYS Fluent in combination with an Ostwald power law constitutive equation. Based on rheometer experiments the constants in the Ostwald power law are identified for the considered LSM material and applied in the numerical modelling for the tape thickness. This model is then used for different values of substrate velocity and material load in the reservoir and compared with experimental findings of the wet tape thickness and good agreement is found.
