Numerical simulation method is employed in the article to analyze the stress field of thick 7B04 aluminum alloy board during manufacturing procedure of solution treatment, calendaring and stretching. The simulation results show that the surface of the board endures compressive stress while the core segment endures tensile stress, and the distribution of the stress is very inhomogeneous. The calendaring procedure helps to decrease the stress and redistribute the stress uniformly, but it also leads to stress concentration at the two ends of the board, which engenders bad influence on the subsequent processing. The board deforms plastically when being stretched, thus the stress decreases greatly and is redistributed uniformly.

In this paper, a transient numerical simulation method is used to investigate the effects of the two furnace configurations on the thermal field: the shape of the melt–crystal (M/C) interface and the thermal stress in the growing multicrystalline ingot. First, four different power ratios (top power to side power) are investigated, and then three positions (i.e., the vertical, angled, and horizontal positions) of the insulation block are compared with the conventional setup. The power ratio simulation results show that with a descending power ratio, the M/C interface becomes flatter and the thermal stress in the solidified ingot is lower. In our cases, a power ratio of 1:3–1:4 is more feasible for high-quality ingot. The block’s position simulation results indicate that the horizontal block can more effectively reduce the radial temperature gradient, resulting in a flatter M/C interface and lower thermal stress.

Numerical simulation method is employed in this article to investigate various high-temperature air direct-ignition processes of pulverized coal (PC). Several important factors are analyzed, which are the inlet velocity of primary air flow, PC concentration and the velocity and temperature of high temperature air. The flow, combustion and heat transfer in high temperature air oil-free ignition burner can also be obtained from the simulation results, which are in accordance with the experimental data. The research provides guidance for structure improvement and operation optimization of burner.

A constant tension and constant temperature molecular dynamics simulation method was used in the calculations of the elastic constants of the nanocomposite systems. The nanocomposite systems contain a core of sp3 diamond structure surrounded by an amorphous carbon network. The simulation results show that the elastic properties of nanocomposites of diamond-like carbons are closely related to the size of the sp3 diamond core; the bigger the core, the larger the elastic constants, and the system becomes more anisotropic.

This paper suggests a large-scale three-dimensional numerical simulation method to investigate the fluorine pollution near a slag yard. The large-scale three-dimensional numerical simulation method included an experimental investigation, laboratory studies of solute transport during absorption of water by soil, and large-scale three-dimensional numerical simulations of solute transport. The experimental results showed that the concentrations of fluorine from smelting slag and construction waste soil were well over the discharge limit of 0.1 kg/m3 recommended by Chinese guidelines. The key parameters of the materials used for large-scale three-dimensional numerical simulations were determined based on an experimental investigation, laboratory studies, and soil saturation of survey results and back analyses. A large-scale three-dimensional numerical simulation of solute transport was performed, and its results were compared to the experiment results. The simulation results showed that the clay near the slag had a high saturation of approximately 0.9, consistent with the survey results. Comparison of the results showed that the results of the numerical simulation of solute transport and the test results were nearly identical, and that the numerical simulation results could be used as the basis for groundwater environmental evaluation.

Uniformity of airflow distribution in a unidirectional flow cleanroom has been studied experimentally and numerically. The influence of the height of the plenum chamber and the velocity of airflow introduced into the chamber on the airflow uniformity are investigated experimentally. In addition, a numerical simulation method to predict airflow uniformity is proposed, taking into account the characteristics of the pressure loss of the filter. The calculation domain in this study includes not only the cleanroom but also the plenum chamber and the exhaust chamber. The validity of the numerical method is also verified by comparing the simulation results with the experiments. Finally, the numerical method is used to obtain an appropriate height for the plenum chamber.

To understand the thermal distribution in a complex structure and high quality linkage casting, a mathematical model of temperature and stress field was established. Numerical simulation techniques was applied by using Procast software in the temperature and stress fields of solidification process, and the foundry defect such as old lap, misrun, shrinkage and dispersed shrinkage was predicted. The stress distribution and deformation in cooling process of casting were analyzed. The simulation results can supply a scientific foundation for foundry technology.

On the basis of previous work, the simulation condition of cold store was improved to reduce calculation error. The SIMPLE algorithm and Boussineq assumption were used and the turbulent intensity was also set. The numerical simulation results reflected that the temperature distribution was closer to the previous experimental results after using new method. The error between simulation values and experimental values was decreased. The simulation result showed that temperature of corner was highest in the cold store. The temperature change of the cold store in the cooling process could be better predicted by using modified simulation method and the accuracy of numerical simulation of cold store in the cooling process could also be validated.
