Simulating bread dough

Volkanatar · November 8, 2023, 14:14

Hello foamers,

i wanted to ask if somebody in the forum has ever worked on a case of a bread dough? I'd appreciate every hint about constitutive models. Which one to select?

Best regards

Hi,

In the end I have never started the project, but we were once asked if this could be done, so I started out with some investigations. I think you may find rheoTool interesting. If I remember correctly I came to the conclusion some kind of viscoelastic model was necessary taking the rise of the dough into account as well as some of the internal stresses, but I have to be honest and think the details are lost.

Best regards,
Tom

Hello Tom,

thank you very much for your time and answer. I found out that White-Metzner constitutive model would be the best fit for the viscoelasticity of dough. I just need to figure out how can i find out the solvent and polymeric viscosity and other fitting parameters through rhelogical experiments.

Any help would be appreciated

Best regards and nice weekend
