Modelling of the Through-air Bonding Process

A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling ofthe through-air bonding process of nonwoven fabricproduction is reported in this article. In the throughairprocess, hot air is passed through the fibrous webto heat and melt polymer fibers. Molten polymersubsequently flows to the point of contact betw...
