Numerical Analysis of the Influence of Empty Channels Design on Performance of Resin Flow in a Porous Plate

This numerical study aims to investigate the influence of I and T-shaped empty channels’ geometry on the filling time of resin in a rectangular porous enclosed mold, mimicking the main operating principle of a liquid resin infusion (LRI) process. Geometrical optimization was conducted with the const...
