CFD Analysis of Fluid Flow in Sand Casting

In Casting process filling and solidification is difficult to visualize by experimental methods. The fluid flow, phase transfer, temperature distribution and velocity gradient is undesirable. So we are going to CFD software to control the solidification parameters. According to finite element theory, using FLUENT software and three dimensional model to simulate liquid metal free surface and temperature field of casting filling process numerically. Boundary and initial conditions, such as velocity, pressure, temperature, etc., was reasonably calculated by theoretically. The feasibility of using FLUENT to simulate three dimensional casting was studied the fluctuation of molten metal free surface was observed. The temperature distribution data on the end of filling was recorded, for further numerical simulation of casting solidification process which provided an accurate initial condition.
