Mathematical simulation of liquid transport in fleece

  • Chapter

Abstract

Fleeces are materials which have gained in the last time increasing applicability. The large variety of fibres used for the fleece production offers a wide spectrum of different absorbtion velocities and capacities of liquids. These materials can be used for the production of baby napkins, too. One of the first papers about mathematical modelling of baby napkins is written by J.Weickert [1]. The aim of his work was to provide optimizing the distribution of the granules of a superabsorbent in the ultra-napkin. Mathematical modelling of the liquid transport in fleece should be helpful to design of washable napkins consisting of different fleece layers.
