Analysis of the Fiber Laydown Quality in Spunbond Processes with Simulation Experiments Evaluated by Blocked Neural Networks

Figure 2

(a) Mesh of the used simulation domain for the air stream; the domain covers mainly the free jet in spunbond processes from the end of the drawing unit to the conveyor belt with suction underneath. (b) Exemplary result of a fiber dynamics simulation; the fiber parts in the air are colored black, the deposited fiber parts on the conveyor belt red. The air stream is visualized as a slice.
