FEATURE / FIBER BED ARCHITECTURE
voirs of resin, observation of the sub- surface flow,
and of the degree of impregnation are yet another
area of study that should be considered.
The relationship between fluid flow and fiber bed
geometry is still not fully understood, and this paper
was only a small stepping stone towards that goal.
