LS-DYNA CFD : Resin Transfer Molding Application (RTM)

Resin transfer moulding (RTM) is an increasingly common form of moulding, using liquid composites. It is primarily used to mold components with large surface areas, complex shapes and smooth finishes. The purpose of using a CFD solver for such applications is to study the flow front and the overall behavior of the highly viscous liquid through the porous media. In this video, the red part is the inlet, the brown part is the porous media die, and the yellow part is the fluid flowing through that porous m
