ABSTRACT
Ising's model, combined with Kawasaki dynamics, is applied in modeling liquid transport in fibrous materials. To bridge the gap between the macro behavior of a heterogeneous material system and its basic constituent particles, an attempt at the multi-scale modeling of transport in fibrous materials is presented in this paper.
