  3. Abstract:
  4. In compression resin transfer molding (CRTM), resin injection and mold closing occur during the mold filling stage. In this paper, numerical simulation of threedimensional flow in compression resin transfer molding (CRTM) is presented. Numerical method is based on the control volume/finite element method (CVFEM) and the numerical algorithm to update the flow front at each time step is based on quasi-steady state approach. Numerical scheme presented in this article can be used to predict the flow progression, pressure distribution, mold clamping force in full threedimensional mold. Numerical example provided in the paper demonstrates the effectiveness of the developed numerical simulation in analyzing the CRTM process
