Complex Casting

New and more complex casting technologies are growing, and foundries are using innovative methods to reduce cost and energy consumption and improve their product qualities. Numerical techniques, as tools to design and examine the process improvements, are also evolving continuously to embrace modelling of more dynamic systems for industrial applications. This paper will present a fresh approach towards the numerical simulation of dynamic processes using an evolving and dynamic mesh technique. While the conventional numerical techniques have been employed for these dynamic processes using a fixed domain approach, the more realistic evolving approach is used herein to match the complex material processes in new foundries. The underpinning of this new dynamic approach is highlighted by an evolving simulation environment where multiple mesh entities are appended to the existing numerical domain at timesteps. Furthermore, the change of the boundary and energy sources within casting process simulations have rationally been presented and its profound effects on the computational time and resources have been examined. The discretization and solver computational features of the technique are presented and the evolution of the casting domain (including its material and energy contents) during the process is described for semi-continuous casting process applications.

In order to predict defects of a complex casting that may arise during the die casting, The numerical analysis technique of Fluent' s VOF was used to establish the filling model. Based on the case of the wheel, it is expounded that the numerical simulation of VOF was utilized in application of casting. The five groups of simulation analysis were performed under the different pouring pressure. At last the pouring pressure has a great influence on the state of filling and the filling times are little difference. The research on pouring pressure and flow field during the casting process of wheels was conducted. The results of the study show that, when the pouring pressure is about 60000 KPa, the cavity is completely filled with the molten aluminum alloy.

Abstract The objective of this paper is to present two numerical techniques for solving generalized fractional differential equations. We develop Haar wavelets operational matrices to approximate the solution of generalized Caputo–Katugampola fractional differential equations. Moreover, we introduce Green–Haar approach for a family of generalized fractional boundary value problems and compare the method with the classical Haar wavelets technique. In the context of error analysis, an upper bound for error is established to show the convergence of the method. Results of numerical experiments have been documented in a tabular and graphical format to elaborate the accuracy and efficiency of addressed methods. Further, we conclude that accuracy-wise Green–Haar approach is better than the conventional Haar wavelets approach as it takes less computational time compared to the Haar wavelet method.

Abstract This paper presents a comprehensive review of the remarkable achievements by Chinese scientists and engineers who have contributed to the multiscale process design, with emphasis on the transport mechanisms in stirred reactors, extractors, and rectification columns. After a brief review of the classical theory of transport phenomena, this paper summarizes the domestic developments regarding the relevant experiments and numerical techniques for the interphase mass transfer on the drop/bubble scale and the micromixing in the single-phase or multiphase stirred tanks in China. To improve the design and scale-up of liquid-liquid extraction columns, new measurement techniques with the combination of both particle image velocimetry and computational fluid dynamics have been developed and advanced modeling methods have been used to determine the axial mixing and mass transfer performance in extraction columns. Detailed investigations on the mass transfer process in distillation columns are also summarized. The numerical and experimental approaches modeling transport phenomena at the vicinity of the vapor-liquid interface, the point efficiency for trays/packings regarding the mixing behavior of fluids, and the computational mass transfer approach for the simulation of distillation columns are thoroughly analyzed. Recent industrial applications of mathematical models, numerical simulation, and experimental methods for the design and analysis of multiphase stirred reactors/crystallizers, extractors, and distillation columns are seen to garnish economic benefits. The current problems and future prospects are pinpointed at last.

The Relationship

Based on the analytical solution of one-dimensional simplified equation of damping tidal wave and Heuristic stability analysis, the precision of numerical solution, computational time and the relationship between the numerical dissipation and the friction dissipation are discussed with different numerical schemes in this paper. The results show that (1) when Courant number is less than unity, the explicit solution of tidal wave propagation has higher precision and requires less computational time than the implicit one; (2) large time step is allowed in the implicit scheme in order to reduce the computational time, but the precision of the solution also reduce and the calculation precision should be guaranteed by reducing the friction factor: (3) the friction factor in the implicit solution is related to Courant number, presented as the determined friction factor is smaller than the natural value when Courant number is larger than unity, and their relationship formula is given from the theoretical analysis and the numerical experiments. These results have important application value for the numerical simulation of the tidal wave.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the influence of mesh type on numerical simulating the dispersion performance of micro-powders through a home-made tube. METHODS With the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method, a powder dispersion tube was meshed in three different types, namely, tetrahedral, unstructured hexahedral and prismatic-tetrahedral hybrid meshes. The inner flow field and the kinetic characteristics of the particles were investigated. Results of the numerical simulation were compared with literature evidences. RESULTS The results showed that using tetrahedral mesh had the highest computational efficiency, while employing the unstructured hexahedral mesh obtained more accurate outlet velocity. The simulation results of the inner flow field and the kinetic characteristics of the particles were slightly different among the three mesh types. The calculated particle velocity using the tetrahedral mesh had the best correlation with the changing trend of the fine particle mass in the first 4 stages of the new generation impactor (NGI) (R2 = 0.91 and 0.89 for powder A and B, respectively). Conclusions Mesh type affected computational time, accuracy of simulation results and the prediction abilities of fine particle deposition.
