Applications of front tracking to the simulation of resin transfer molding (Q1368445)

We present a two-phase, two-component air solubility model to study the formation and migration of the macro- and microvoids. The numerical solutions of the model are obtained through a front tracking code. The front tracking method has the distinguishing feature of preserving sharp interfaces throughout the simulation. The results demonstrate that the model proposed here has desirable qualitative agreement with experimental results.
