Simulating fiber motion in the airflow in a rotor spinning unit

In this study, a numerical model for simulation of fiber motion in the transport channel of a rotor spinning unit has been developed. A chain represents the fiber consisting of a series of cylindrical rods connected with beads. The fiber model is applied on the turbulent airflow field of the transpo...
