Mixture theory provides a continuum framework to model a multi-phase system. The basic
assumption is, at any instant of time all phases are present at every material point and …

All three classes of fibre reinforced composite materials (polymer, metal and ceramic matrix)
may be produced by flow of liquid matrix into the open spaces left within pores of a fibre …

We examine the effects of capillarity and gravity in a model of one-dimensional imbibition of
an incompressible liquid into a deformable porous material. We focus primarily on a …

We consider the imbibition of a liquid droplet into a deformable porous substrate. The liquid
in the droplet is imbibed due to capillary suction in an initially dry and undeformed substrate …

Transverse (through-thickness) impregnation variants of Liquid Composite Moulding (LCM)
processes result in relatively fast fill times due to the short resin flow path. In a recently …

This paper deduces a new model aimed at simulating injection molding processes under
isothermal conditions. These processes can be generally stated as infiltration problems in …

The equations driving the flow of an incompressible fluid through a porous deformable
medium are derived in the framework of the mixture theory. This mechanical system is …

We explore predictions of two models of one-dimensional capillary rise in rigid and partially
saturated porous media. One is an existing one from the literature and the second is a free …

In this paper, a non-isothermal model to simulate some injection molding processes used to
fabricate composite materials is deduced. The model allows the solid constituent in both the …

This paper examines the problem of the nonreactive advective transport of a contaminant
that is introduced at the boundary of a three‐dimensional cavity contained in a fluid …
