Three dimensional numerical simulation for air flow field in melt blowing

Melt blowing is one-step approach for producing microfibrous nonwovens. In this study, the characteristics of air flow field in different die melt blowing were studied. CFD simulation analysis was adopted to complete the air flow field simulation. The characteristics of the air flow fields in different die melt blowing were revealed and compared. Meanwhile, the fiber paths in these two melt-blowing processes are recorded with a high-speed camera. The fiber path profiles, especially the whipping, are obtained and presented.
