Summary:The subject of this work is an application of CFD for simulation of vacuum assisted resin infusion. The microscale behaviour is neglected and fibres in the mould are replaced by the porous zone. Equations for porosity coefficients are altered so the coefficients can be computed from the experiment’s outputs. The experiment is simplified by filling the mould with fibres without additional layers, which are commonly used in industry manufacturing. There are two experiments. The first one is simple and is used like an input for the simulation. Results of second one are compared with the simulation.
