AbstractPapermaking is to a large extent a multiphase flow process where the structure of the material and many of the relevant properties of the final product are determined by the interaction between water and the wood fibers. The dominant feature of a suspension composed of wood fibers and water is its inherent propensity to form bundles of mechanically entangled fibers, fiber flocs, but the phenomena apparent throughout the papermaking process are not unique but in fact generic fluid dynamical phenomenon.
