Effect of water injection pressure on fiber orientation distribution along the melt flow direction.

(a) Numerical analysis of water injection pressure on fiber orientation

(b) SEM image of fiber orientation, the left side of each picture is the mold wall, the right side is the channel, and the three pictures of each process parameter are the near water end, the middle end and the far water end, respectively, from left to right
