“…These simulations are done in the same way as the experimental measurements: pressure on the two boundaries are increased gradually to obtain the pore size distribution from the Washburn equation. Previously, results of mercury intrusion porosimetry have been compared with those obtained by image analysis of tomograpic images [14]. In this comparison a discrepancy between the two sets of results was detected.…”

“…9). Other applications of porous flows have also been explored, for example, in underground water resources (Kang et al 2006;Porter et al 2009), fabric materials (Ramaswamy et al 2004;Belov et al 2004), and biological and biomedical materials (Zeiser et al 2008;Porter et al 2005). Electroosmosic flows through porous materials have also been examined (Wang and Chen 2007;Wang et al 2007b).…”

The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) has experienced tremendous advances and has been well accepted as a useful method to simulate various fluid behaviors. For computational microfluidics, LBM may present some advantages, including the physical representation of microscopic interactions, the uniform algorithm for multiphase flows, and the easiness in dealing with complex boundary. In addition, LBM-like algorithms have been developed to solve microfluidics-related processes and phenomena, such as heat transfer, electric/magnetic field, and diffusion. This article provides a practical overview of these LBM models and implementation details for external force, initial condition, and boundary condition. Moreover, recent LBM applications in various microfluidic situations have been reviewed, including microscopic gaseous flows, surface wettability and solid-liquid interfacial slip, multiphase flows in microchannels, electrokinetic flows, interface deformation in electric/magnetic field, flows through porous structures, and biological microflows. These simulations show some examples of the capability and efficiency of LBM in computational microfluidics.

“…Obtained 3D structure image of fabric and parameters of 3D porosity by microtomography system allow more detailed view of the causes of material behaviour caused by the spreading of liquid moisture management [24,25,3]. For this experiment a nondestructive method of computer microtomography was selected from the existing detection methods of porosity parameters.…”

Liquid moisture transport of textile structures has been studied in order to manage human perspiration well. This article deals with investigation of dynamic moisture transport of knitted fabrics by sophisticated methods, such as moisture management tester (MMT), thermography and microtomography systems. Three groups of knitted fabrics were analysed by the above-mentioned methods. Specifically, the distribution of liquid drops on samples was compared with the results of vertical wicking of tested materials and the parameter of three-dimensional fabric porosity. Both dynamic spreading of liquid drops on the surface of samples (from top and bottom sides simultaneously) and vertical wicking behaviour of textiles were analysed by the combination of thermography and image analysis system. Further, the results from MMT and porosity analysis by microtomography system were investigated to specify the interaction between structure parameters of knitted fabrics and their liquid transport properties which influence total wear comfort.
