Abstract
The frame mould temperature field in the autoclave process for the production of large-size advanced composite parts was simulated using ANSYS CFX computational fluid dynamics software. The simulation methodology was verified by performing experiments on the mould temperature field and comparing the findings with the simulation results and the effects of mould design parameters on the temperature field evaluated. 11 refs.
