CFD Simulation to find Porous Multilayer Limitation of the Vacuum Infusion Process

In this study a multilayer infusion process is simulated by ANSYS-FLUENT 15 for two different cases. The cases consist of the three parallel porous media layers and an equivalent one layer porous media (instead of the three). The results of the simulations show that the equivalent one layer approximation is not proper approach for combination of different layers with different porosity and permeability.
