Heat Transfer Simulation in the Mould With Generalized Curvilinear Formulation Available to Purchase

A large number of mould manufactures need to reduce cost production. In fact, the production of a part by foundry techniques is influenced by its complex geometry configuration, which affects the solidification conditions and subsequent cooling. The simulation of heat transfer phenomena between metal and mould helps to reduce or even eliminate the need of corrective alterations of the mould. This approach will help to reduce its cost. The main objective of this paper is to describe the development of a finite volume method in order to simulate the heat transfer phenomena during the phase change process. Because of the mould design complexity, the finite volume is described using the generalized curvilinear formulation.
