Two-Scale Modeling Approach to Predict Permeability of Fibrous Media

We previously demonstrated how one can develop a 3-D geometry to model the fibrous microstructure of a nonwoven fiberweb and use it to simulate its permeability at fiber level [1-6]. Developing 3-D models of most nonwoven fabrics (bonded fiberwebs), however, is cumbersome, as in the case of hydroent...
