Alternative techniques for casting process simulation

R.W. Lewis, R.S. Ransing, W.K.S. Pao, K. Kulasegaram, J. Bonet

Over the past 20 years, casting process simulation has been an active area of research. The simulation techniques are either based on solving governing partial differential…

Modeling fluid‐solid thermomechanical interactions in casting processes

Marcela A. Cruchaga, Diego J. Celentano, Roland W. Lewis

An integrated formulation for the analysis of casting processes is presented in this work. This model involves the description of the evolution and the coupled interactions of the…

Radial basis function collocation method solution of natural convection in porous media

Božidar Šarler, Janez Perko, Ching‐Shyang Chen

This paper describes the solution of a steady‐state natural convection problem in porous media by the radial basis function collocation method (RBFCM). This mesh‐free…

Multiple solutions and stability of confined convective and swirling flows – a continuing challenge

Alexander Yu. Gelfgat, Pinhas Z. Bar‐Yoseph

Our recent results on stability and multiplicity of flow states for confined flows of an incompressible Newtonian fluid are surveyed. The considered laminar flows are caused by…

FEM analysis of multifluid heat exchangers

K.N. Seetharamu, G.A. Quadir, Z.A. Zainal, G.M. Krishnan

Heat exchangers are devices for exchanging energy between two or more fluids. They find applications in various industries like power, process, electronics, refining, cryogenics…
