摘要

Flow front propagation in liquid composite molding is subject to the fiberrnarchitecture, resin properties, and the preform geometry being infused. Definingrnaccurate resin flow fronts for complex woven fabrics is challenging as the permeatingrnfluid often progresses in an uneven “fingering” manner due to variable porosity andrnflow channels created by the textile geometry. Accurately modeling the advancingrnflow fronts in liquid composite molding is important, as air entrapment and voidrnformation can arise due to the resin and air phase interaction at the flow front. Thesernare important considerations for mold design, prediction of voids, and finished partrnevaluation. The research described here presents simulations of the advancing resinrnflow front through textile preforms. A tetrahedral based mesh is generated fromrnTexGen scripts modeled from a unit cell of textile geometry, and mesh independencernis seen for a sufficiently refined mesh. A computationally efficient, unit cell-basedrnsolution is shown to account for the intricacies of the air to resin phase transition seenrnon the meso-scale in actual mold fills. A multiphase, transient finite volume solution isrnfound in Fluent using the generated mesh, and post-processed to produce an advancingrnflow front simulation. For model validation, a plain weave Shield Strand S fabric isrnfirst characterized geometrically for TexGen input parameters. Then, experimentalrnadvancing flow front infusions are conducted with an instrumented line-source to linesinkrnvisualization fixture. Model and experimental flow fronts are compared, yieldingrnfavorable qualitative results.
