摘要: A numerical investigation into the area of resin impregnation during manufacturing composite materials is undertaken using a macroscopic flow through porous media ap proach. This study specifically directed at modeling transfer molding and film stacking advanced processes. Quasi-steady state isothermal assumed two-dimensional Darcy Law based stream function formulation utilized. The resultant single governing equation for each quasi-steady timestep solved along with proper boundary conditions method boundary-fitted coordinate systems encompassing grid generation. code validated by comparison previously published results rectangular mold point source line sink. Streamlines, pressure distributions, velocity profiles, temporal liquid free surface positions are then presented general irregular geometry encasing both isotropic anis...
