Abstract
In contemporary scenario, vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) has become a dominating technique for the manufacturing of large composite structures having high fiber volume fraction. In this research, Basalt fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP) flat laminate has been manufactured using VARTM process. To understand the effect of different process parameters of VARTM, simulation model has been developed using CFD simulation solver FLUENT. This two-phase flow model used to simulate the resin pressure distribution and track the flow front with time-dependent approach. The simulation results were compared with the data obtained during resin infusion in the actual experiment. As a result of which, the predicted resin flow patterns and mold filling time by CFD simulation model are found well agreed with measured flow sequence obtained during the manufacturing of BFRP composite.
