In the textile industry a tool is needed that can predict fibre and yarn movement in turbulent air streams. The Institut für Textiltechnik of RWTH Aachen University (ITA) has developed a yarn model that can be used to study the movement of single fibres and yarns in turbulent air flows. The kinematic model is described in this article. Special attention is paid to the aerodynamic forces that determine...
