Abstract
A Numerical technique has been developed for the coupled heat transfer and fluid flow calculation during the casting process. In this method the SMAC technique was coupled with the concept of Volume of Fluid(VOF) to calculate melt free surface and velocity profiles within the melt, and the Energy Marker method coupled with the finite difference method was proposed for the convective and conductive heat transfer analysis in the casting. When comparing numerical calculations with experimental observations, a close correlation was evident. It has been shown that this technique is useful for proper gating and casting design, especially for thin-walled castings.
