Casting: Modeling and Simulation

Graduate

Review of casting fundamentals. Techniques for mathematical model formulation. Development of general numerical method based on control volume finite difference scheme to predict mold filling, heat transfer, and solidification phenomena. Treatment of gates, runners, risers, and overflow. Mesh generation for full casting. Applications using commercial casting-simulation software. Students will 179 Winter 2027 Academic Calendar apply their knowledge of engineering mathematics and transport phenomena to the processes of manufacturing light weight automotive components.
