Abstract
The proposed model of predictions of volume wicking and wetting in 3D terry woven fabrics is based on the simplified description
of the thread of terry structure, and it works with the woven fabrics description of loops thread structure. The following terry woven
fabrics parameters are used in the model: woven structures, fineness of fibers, and number of fibers at the cross-section in the
warps (loop, ground) and the filling. The formation of loops levels and the liquid in the longitudinal textile is described in detail,
and particular phenomena are discussed. Important parameters are used in the model of wicking, limit and their performance, and
facilitate evaluation of a three-dimensional plain pile warp woven fabrics. Simulation results provide information of liquid volume
wicking and wetting into terry woven fabrics assemblies as a function of time. The work focuses mainly on the relationship between
fiber orientation and the liquid wicking and wetting rate, the results are potential volume porosity theory in agreement with known
experimental evidence. The parameters with very small influence in usual threads are disregarded. The proposed wicking and
wetting model allows a functional dependence of suction height on the parameters of the fiber bundle to be expressed in analytical
form.
