FIELD: physics.
SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to a method of designing and producing a distribution element for use on a production line (embodiments) and a distribution element. Method of designing and producing a distribution element for use on a production line comprises using a mixing head for making a viscous foaming liquid mixture, a laminator at a predetermined rate, making at least 20 m/min, and a distribution element having a central inlet fluidly connected to a number of outlets through the main passage. Method also includes selection (3001) of geometric shape for distributing element and determination of multiple geometric parameters; assigning values (3002) to parameters; creating (3003) a virtual model; simulating (3005) a flow in a model by performing computer simulation of fluid dynamics (CFD) based on (3004) a non-Newtonian fluidic liquefying fluid model; e) evaluating simulated flow and fabrication (2007) of physical distribution element.
EFFECT: technical result achieved by using a group of inventions is to apply a layer of a mixture which is to be as homogeneous as possible over the entire width of the upper layer of the sheet or laminator.
