The Simulation of RTM Based on FLUENT

Article Preview

Abstract:

RTM is also called resin transfer moulding, it is one of the leading technology in the field of FRP. With the help of FLUENT, a powerful computational fluid dynamics software, we have finished the process simulation of filling the mould. In the process simulation, the flow striker, pressure field and velocity field are clearly showed. And they can describe the process of RTM effectively.
