Modeling water permeability in needle-punched nonwovens using finite element analysis. 6th South African Conference on Computational and Applied Mechanics SACAM 2008. Cape Town, South Africa, 26 - 28 March 2008, pp 8http://hdl.handle.net/10204/32336th South African Conference on Computational and Applied Mechanics SACAM 2008.This paper presents the results from a study on the water permeability behaviour of nonwovens produced from the hemp fibres. Three different types of needle-punched nonwovens are produced by varying the feed rate of fibres during the needle-punching process. The pore size in the nonwovens is measured by liquid extrusion porometry. Water permeability is measured by the water permeability tester. A finite element analysis is employed to predict the flow velocity through the nonwovens. A good correlation is achieved between the average velocity data obtained from water permeability test and theoretical prediction based on finite element analysisenWater permeabilityNeedle-punched nonwovenFinite element analysisPore sizeHemp fibresComputational and applied mechanicsSACAM 2008Conference PresentationPatanaik, A., & Anandjiwala, R.
