Download or read book Lattice Boltzmann Modeling written by Michael C. Sukop and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-04-05 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is a basic introduction to Lattice Boltzmann models that emphasizes intuition and simplistic conceptualization of processes, while avoiding the complex mathematics that underlies LB models. The model is viewed from a particle perspective where collisions, streaming, and particle-particle/particle-surface interactions constitute the entire conceptual framework. Beginners and those whose interest is in model application over detailed mathematics will find this a powerful 'quick start' guide. Example simulations, exercises, and computer codes are included.

Book Modeling and Simulation of Microstructure Evolution in Solidifying Alloys

Download or read book Modeling and Simulation of Microstructure Evolution in Solidifying Alloys written by Laurentiu Nastac and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-05-08 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of Modeling and Simulation of Microstructure Evolution in Solidifying Alloys is to describe in a clear mathematical language the physics of the solidification structure evolution of cast alloys. The concepts and methodologies presented here for the net-shaped casting and the ingot remelt processes can be applied, with some modifications, to model other solidification processes such as welding and deposition processes. Another aim of the book is to provide simulation examples of the solidification structure modeling in some crucial commercial casting technologies as well as to provide practical techniques for controlling the structure formation during the solidification processes.

Book Phase field Simulation of Solidification of Aluminum Alloys

Download or read book Phase field Simulation of Solidification of Aluminum Alloys written by Atiqur Rahman and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research is focused on studying the effects of concentration, undercooling rate, and anisotropy on the morphology of dendrites. In this study, four different Phase-Field Models were used to simulate to understand the dendrite evolution during the solidification of an Al-Cu binary alloy by considering various realistic features of the processes. The overall findings from the solidification models indicate that increasing solute concentration delays solute rejection at the interface until a critical point (5.88wt%Cu) and dendrite growth is slower in higher Cu-concentration. At a higher undercooling rate, dendrites grow into a more developed form with pronounced secondary dendrites, and the length of the primary dendritic arm expands with the increase in anisotropic value in a particular direction.

Book Transport Phenomena in Materials Processing

Download or read book Transport Phenomena in Materials Processing written by David R. Poirier and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-12-06 with total page 653 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text provides a teachable and readable approach to transport phenomena (momentum, heat, and mass transport) by providing numerous examples and applications, which are particularly important to metallurgical, ceramic, and materials engineers. Because the authors feel that it is important for students and practicing engineers to visualize the physical situations, they have attempted to lead the reader through the development and solution of the relevant differential equations by applying the familiar principles of conservation to numerous situations and by including many worked examples in each chapter. The book is organized in a manner characteristic of other texts in transport phenomena. Section I deals with the properties and mechanics of fluid motion; Section II with thermal properties and heat transfer; and Section III with diffusion and mass transfer. The authors depart from tradition by building on a presumed understanding of the relationships between the structure and properties of matter, particularly in the chapters devoted to the transport properties (viscosity, thermal conductivity, and the diffusion coefficients). In addition, generous portions of the text, numerous examples, and many problems at the ends of the chapters apply transport phenomena to materials processing.

Book Phase field Simulation of Dendritic Growth Under Externally Applied Deformation

Download or read book Phase field Simulation of Dendritic Growth Under Externally Applied Deformation written by Masashi Yamaguchi and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Defects, i.e. hot tears, macrosegragation, and pores, formed in metal castings are a result of stresses and strains in the solid-liquid mushy zone. Numerical simulation of solidification of deforming dendrite crystal promises to improve insight into the mechanical behavior of mushy zones under an applied load. The primary goal of this thesis is to develop numerical methodologies for performing solidification simulation of deforming dendrites. Such simulation encounters difficulties associated with the interface dynamics due to phase change or interaction among the dendrites, and large visco-plastic deformation applied to them. Phase-field simulation of dendritic solidification is promising for the treatment of the complex interface dynamics. Free energy based formulation allows the model to incorporate bridging and wetting phenomena occurring at grain boundaries through an extra energy term which arises from a mismatch of the crystallographic orientation. The particle method would be attractive to handle large inelastic deformation without suffering mesh entanglement. In order to investigate the effect of solid deformations on the evolving microstructure, the material point method with elasto-visco-plasticity constitutive model is developed to couple to a phase-field model of solidification. The changes in the crystallographic orientation of a growing dendrite crystal due to solid deformation are carefully accounted for through the coupling methodology. The developed numerical framework is applicable to the simulation for single and multiple crystals, and is capable of handling complex morphological change. The wide variety of validations and practical problems solved in this thesis demonstrates the capability of investigating deformation behavior of growing crystals.
