- This paper presents a resin infusion process simulation which accounts for the variation in permeability, resulting from the draping of a woven preform over a geometrically complex tool. This work demonstrated that the predicted flow fronts were in much better agreement with experimental observations, compared to conventional simulations used in industry, where constant permeability is often assumed. The research was conducted in collaboration with Boeing Research and Technology Australia, the R&D division of Boeing Aerostructures Australia, manufacturers of the B787 resin-infused control surface, a contract valued at UAD 5B over 20 years (Andrew.k.glynn@boeing.com).
