In this study we develop a fundamental understanding of an aerodynamic method of forming fibrous web structures from short fibres. Computational fluid dynamics is employed to model the air flow in the system and based on this analysis the fibre dynamics in the process are then modelled. Experimental results were obtained by using high speed photography and we have found reasonable agreement between the theoretical predictions and the experimental findings.
