Abstract: Taking a FRP Yacht as the object, the three-dimensional entity model and finite element model were established to simulate the resin flow front in porous medium with Darcy's law. Aim to shorten the filling time and reduce production cost, the optimal flow scheme and the injection port spacing were gained. The accuracy of the simulation results were verified by filling test. This work is of guiding significance for the practical production of FRP yacht.
