Molding of composite products in closed molds

,

Abstract:

We study the process of impregnating the filler by a non-Newtonian fluid while molding of composite products in closed molds. The flow is described by the Brinkman equation. From a rheological standpoint, medium is a power law fluid. The problem is solved by a numerical method of finite differences. The influence of Darcy number and power law fluid index on the velocity profiles is shown.
