Flow Modeling Solutions for the Nonwovens Industry

With Fluent's suite of flow modeling software products, you create a "virtual prototype" to evaluate the effects that process design and parameter changes will have on the macro- and microscopic properties of your nonwoven products. The insight and efficiency that you gain using our software results in better designs and reduced time-to-market, ultimately lowering product development costs. Flow modeling is a cost-effective alternative to experimental testing, with a fast return on investment. Fluent's software products meets all of the flow modeling needs of the nonwovens industry, from polymer mixing in an extruder to turbulent flows in a meltblown die.

Customer Testimonials

“NCRC has used FLUENT for a number of projects. In particular, FLUENT has been used to simulate the flow in jet nozzles used in hydroentangling. In less than six months, we demonstrated that our FLUENT results were identical to our experimental data. Because of this validation effort, we are now in a position to use FLUENT to optimize our existing nozzle designs, which have not changed appreciably during the last few decades. The plans to optimize have only been made possible by our new understanding of the flow interactions revealed by the FLUENT simulations.”
