During the splicing process of pneumatic splicer, the principle of yarn splicing is closely related to the flow field inside the splicing chamber. This paper presents a numerical simulation of the flow characteristics inside the splicing chamber of the pneumatic splicer. A three-dimensional grid and the realizable k -ε turbulence model are used in this simulation. The numerical results of velocity vectors distribution inside the chamber are shown. Streamlines starting from the two air injectors are also acquired. Based on the simulation, the principle of yarn splicing of the pneumatic splicer is discussed. The airflow in the splicing chamber can be divided into three regions. In addition, the simulation results have well supported the principle of yarn splicing of pneumatic splicer claimed by the splicing chamber makers.
