TURBULENCE FLOW SIMULATION OF MOLTEN METALS IN RUNNERS FOR DEFECT CONTROL IN CASTING OF A SPUR GEAR BLANK
The study investigates the effects of turbulence flow of molten metal on the walls of
the runner and the mould cavity during pouring via simulation approach. Effects of
temperature, solidification time, shrinkage porosity, thermal modulus, hot spot
formation and interfacial heat transfer coefficient were simulated under turbulent flow
condition. Turbulence kinetics and flow properties which...
