Abstract

Permeability of textiles is a key characteristic for composite manufacturing. Measurement of
textile permeability is a time and resource consuming process, hence numerical prediction of the permeability
is required. Using the law of Darcy, permeability can be derived from a simulation of the fluid flow, i.e. after
solving the Navier-Stokes or Brinkman equations. In this paper we present results of simulations with a solver
for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. Results are compared with theory and recent experimental
data.
