Visualizing the air traps as function of fill velocity in casting: a CFD based case study

Manufacturing Engineerign

The present study focus on the prediction of the air traps in the casting method as the function of the flow velocity. Cold shuts being the major defects in the casting method, studying the how the cold shuts are form can helps in redesigning the mold helps in the improve the quality of the product. In order to resolve this procedure the CFD based VOF model is used to study the formation of the cold shuts based on the aluminum AlSi7Mg with the operational temperature of 700C by varying the flow velocity ,it is found that the as the velocity of the flow increases the number of the air traps in the model exhibits a nonlinearity ,
