Abstract
In order to achieve the high-rate production of fibre preforms, the deposition mechanism in the VAD process has been investigated. The particle deposition rate was found to depend on the Reynolds number of the flame stream. The high-rate preform production of 4.5 g/min was attained by applying this result to the preform fabrication technique.
