A three dimensional incompressible gas-liquid two-phase flow model is proposed to accurately simulate the fluid flow of casting's mould filling process. The gas entrapment during mould filling is studied under different initial velocity and pressure conditions. The simulation results show that the velocity of change has a larger effect on gas entrapment, Initial velocity affects the distribution of temperature field,meanwhile gas entrapment parts specialized sampling is proceeded for qualitative detection at the scene. The simulated result is consistent with the experimental result, which can be reference for the process parameters selection and mold design of filling process in large steel-ingot.

A three-dimensional incompressible two phase flow model of vertical centrifugal casting is proposed to simulate the fluid flow of mould filling process accurately and effectively. The Projection method is adopted to solve the govern equation of the flow field, and the Level Set method is used to capture the free surface. The mold filling of a complex part with thin-wall is simulated. The numerical result shows that the Projection-Level Set method could simulate centrifugal casting effectively. The present study has a guiding significance to the production of vertical centrifugal casting.

Flow Field Characteristics

In view of the rotor icing problems, the influence of centrifugal force on rotor blade icing is investigated. A numerical simulation method of three-dimensional rotor blade icing is presented. Body-fitted grids around the rotor blade are generated using overlapping grid technology and rotor flow field characteristics are obtained by solving N-S equations. According to Eulerian two-phase flow, the droplet trajectories are calculated and droplet impingement characteristics are obtained. The mass and energy conservation equations of ice accretion model are established and a new calculation method of runback water mass based on shear stress and centrifugal force is proposed to simulate water flow and ice shape. The calculation results are compared with available experimental results in order to verify the correctness of the numerical simulation method. The influence of centrifugal force on rotor icing is calculated. The results show that the flow direction and distribution of liquid water on rotor surfaces change under the action of centrifugal force, which lead to the increasing of icing at the stagnation point and the decreasing of icing on both frozen limitations.

Entrance Angle

Calculation fluid dynamics software Fluent was used to conduct three-dimensional numerical simulation on gas-liquid two-phase flow field in a wet flue gas desulfurization scrubber. The k-ε model and SIMPLE computing were adopted in the analysis. The numerical simulation results show that the different gas entrance angles lead to internal changes of gas-liquid two-phase flow field, which provides references for reasonable parameter design of entrance angle in the scrubber.

Good Agreement

The performance of centrifugal fans is considerably influenced by the design of tongue at the re-circulation port. The flow in the volute of a centrifugal fan was studied both experimentally and numerically. In this experiment, flow angle, pressure and velocity profiles were measured at a large number of locations in the volute. The flow field in the volute passage was analyzed using Computational Fluid Dynamics. The flow was assumed to be three dimensional, turbulent and steady. The numerical simulation produced qualitatively good agreement with the experimental result. The results from experiment and numerical simulation indicated that the adoption of a re-circulating flow port improved fan performance for all flow conditions. In addition, the existence of strong secondary flow was apparent at the cross-section of the volute passage.

Aiming at the problem of steering fracture, in the paper, numerical simulation method under the condition of three-dimensional two-phase flow is presented based on finite element method. In this method, of steering fracture was achieved by adopting surface elements fractures and tetrahedron elements to describe formation. By numerical simulation, the change rule of oil and water production performance of steering fractures can be calculated, and then the steering fracture parameters can be optimized before fracturing. A new method was supplied for the numerical simulation of artificial fractured well.

The sequential casting of slabs is a major trend in the steel industry where steel quality is the most important factor. The operating parameters have the most influence on mixing phenomenon apart from the design and shapes of the tundish and its furniture. Moreover, in industrial practice, the bath height in tundish varied with time when the ladle is changed. In the present work, the numerical simulation has been carried out to study the effect of residual volume and outflow (throughput) rate on the mixing phenomenon inside the tundish. A transient, three-dimensional two-phase model using the Volume of Fluid (VOF) method and Level Set interface tracking method has been used to investigate the intermixed grade steel formation. A comparison of the two interface tracking schemes, i.e., Geo-reconstruct and Modified HRIC (High-Resolution Interface Capturing Scheme) has also been presented. The results obtained through numerical simulation has been compared with experimental results. In a later section, the results showed that residual volume has a significant effect on the grade mixing. The mixing phenomenon in tundish is considerably influenced by the advance-pouring box (APB). Further, the outflow rate of tundish has little impact on the grade intermixing phenomenon.
