Abstract:Non-woven cellulose fiber networks of low areal density are widely used in many industrial applications and consumer products. A discrete element method (DEM) modelling framework is advanced to simulate the formation of strongly anisotropic cellulose fiber network sheets in the dilute limit with simplified hydrodynamic and hydroelastic interactions. Our modelling accounts for in-plane fiber orientation and viscous drag indirectly by using theories developed by Niskanen (1989) and Cox (1970) respectively. Netwo… Show more
