Abstract
This research introduces a novel multi-scale and multi-physics approach for simulating fluid-structure interactions in air-jet weaving, focusing on the aerodynamic behaviour of hairy staple fiber yarns. The method combines high-fidelity microstructural simulations to derive homogenized macroscale yarn properties with an adapted Actuator Line Method (ALM) that captures the aerodynamic forces exerted on the yarn, accounting for its fibrous surface. The coupling of the flow and structural models is achieved along the yarn’s centerline using an explicit scheme. This approach represents a significant advancement in modelling the complex dynamics of air-jet weaving, particularly by capturing the influence of yarn surface characteristics on aerodynamic interactions. Moreover, the framework offers a computationally efficient way to incorporate micro-level properties into macroscale simulations, enabling practical applications in production and manufacturing environments.
