A computational approach based on flow front shape dynamic behavior for the process characterization during filling in Liquid Resin Infusion

Resin Infusion (RI) process is one of the common techniques used in the industry for large composite parts production. This technique uses vacuum pressure to drive the resin into a laminate. Preform is laid dry into the mold and the vacuum is applied before the resin is introduced. Once a complete vacuum is achieved, resin is sucked into the laminate via placed tubing. Fig.1 shows
