Abstract
The effects of woven structures on fluid flow through basic weaves of monofilament filter cloths are studied numerically using the fluid-flow software FLUENT. The flow pattern and resistance to flow in the interstices are obtained as results of the numerical solution. The results show that the construction of the fabric pores has a significant influence on flow pattern in the interstices and downstream. Plain weave gives the highest fluid flow resistance, while satin weave has the lowest with the same thread count.
