Modeling the thermal inkjet firing process

A numerical model has been developed to simulate the firing of an inkjet printhead. The model evaluates the heat generation and diffusion within the thin film structure, the phase change and vapor bubble growth in the ink, and the subsequent flow of ink from the orifice. The heat transfer is modeled...
