Dataset associated with 'A predictive model for discrete cell gravure roll coating'.

A predictive heterogeneous multiscale model for discrete cell gravure roll coating is presented with experimental results for the purpose of model validation. The experimental results are in line with those found elsewhere and qualitatively agree with the numeric model for pickout ratio of a range of operating web-to-roll speed ratios. The cell volume, general cell shape and the gravure patterning are accounted for within the model. The inclusion of a web-to-roll contact term accounts for the special gravure case when the web-roll separation is equal to zero. Bead profile results are presented at different operating conditions describing the influence of the contact on both the coating bead structure and fluid transfer properties.
