Abstract
A single phase level set method for capturing the propagating front within textile unit-cells is presented. The computational domain is embedded within an artificial Cartesian grid in order to avoid the difficulties associated with the meshing step. The flow is modelled by using the Stokes/Brinkman equations. Hence, the necessity of describing the yarn boundaries is avoided. The propagating front is represented by using a level set formulation where the extra step of reinitialization is avoided. The flow equations are solved only in the filled part of the domain. The velocity in the unfilled part is obtained through a harmonic continuation. Numerical tests on simple configurations in 2D and 3D space are presented in order to demonstrate the proposed method.
