Graphical Analysis of Fluid Flow Through Polymeric Complex Structures Using Multi-scale Simulations - Selected Topics of Computational and Experimental Fluid Mechanics - page 288

Fig. 3 Flow of polymeric
fluids with different
viscosities and densities. The
predicted performance of the
polymeric resin flow through
the unsaturated porous media
is qualitatively correct and
makes possible the analysis
of industrial processes, such
as mould filling in the resin
transfer moulding process,
drying processes,
oil-industry applications,
where polymers are injected
in order to enhance oil
recovery, and techniques to
control soil pollution by
industrial polymeric
products, among many
others. The SPH simulations
have shown to be very
efficient and present some
advantages over the
macroscopic scale models to
analyze this kind of systems
where mobile interfaces are
involved
