TY - JOUR TI - Numerical approach to inter-fiber flow in nonwovens with super absorbent fibers AU - Ding Zhi-Rong AU - Guo Ying AU - Wang Shan-Yuan JN - Thermal Science PY - 2017 VL - 21 IS - 4 SP - 1639 EP - 1644 PT - Article AB - This paper establishes a 3-D numerical model for inter-fiber flows in non-woven materials composed of super absorbent fibers. The velocity distribution of the in-ter-fiber flow is obtained. The effects of absorbent fibers and geometrical struc-ture of non-woven fabrics on flow properties are analyzed.
