Abstract

The coupled dynamics of interfacial fluid phases and unconstrained solid particles during the binder jet 3D printing process govern the final quality and performance of the resulting components. The present work proposes a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and discrete element method (DEM) framework capable of simulating the complex interfacial fluid–particle interaction that occurs when binder microdroplets are deposited into a powder bed. The CFD solver uses a volume-of-fluid (VOF) method for capturing liquid–gas multifluid flows and relies on block-structured adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) to localize grid refinement around evolving fluid–fluid interfaces. The DEM module resolves six degrees of freedom particle motion and accounts for particle contact, cohesion, and rolling resistance. Fully-resolved CFD-DEM coupling is achieved through a fictitious domain immersed boundary (IB) approach. An improved method for enforcing three-phase contact lines with a VOF-IB extension technique is introduced. We present several simulations of binder jet primitive formation using realistic process parameters and material properties. The DEM particle systems are experimentally calibrated to reproduce the cohesion behavior of physical nickel alloy powder feedstocks. We demonstrate the proposed model’s ability to resolve the interdependent fluid and particle dynamics underlying the process by directly comparing simulated primitive granules with one-to-one experimental counterparts obtained from an in-house validation apparatus. This computational framework provides unprecedented insight into the fundamental mechanisms of binder jet 3D printing and presents a versatile new approach for process parameter optimization and defect mitigation that avoids the inherent challenges of experiments.

Introduction

Binder jet 3D printing (BJ3DP) is a powder bed additive manufacturing (AM) technology capable of fabricating geometrically complex components from advanced engineering materials, such as metallic superalloys and ultra-high temperature ceramics [1], [2]. As illustrated in Fig. 1(a), the process is comprised of many repetitive print cycles, each contributing a new cross-sectional layer on top of a preceding one to form a 3D CAD-specified geometry. The feedstock material is first delivered from a hopper to a build plate and then spread into a thin layer by a counter-rotating roller. After powder spreading, a print head containing many individual inkjet nozzles traverses over the powder bed while precisely jetting binder microdroplets onto select regions of the spread layer. Following binder deposition, the build plate lowers by a specified layer thickness, leaving a thin void space at the top of the job box that the subsequent powder layer will occupy. This cycle repeats until the full geometries are formed layer by layer. Powder bed fusion (PBF) methods follow a similar procedure, except they instead use a laser or electron beam to selectively melt and fuse the powder material. Compared to PBF, binder jetting offers several distinct advantages, including faster build rates, enhanced scalability for large production volumes, reduced machine and operational costs, and a wider selection of suitable feedstock materials [2]. However, binder jetted parts generally possess inferior mechanical properties and reduced dimensional accuracy [3]. As a result, widescale adoption of BJ3DP to fabricate high-performance, mission-critical components, such as those common to the aerospace and defense sectors, is contingent on novel process improvements and innovations [4].

A major obstacle hindering the advancement of BJ3DP is our limited understanding of how various printing parameters and material properties collectively influence the underlying physical mechanisms of the process and their effect on the resulting components. To date, the vast majority of research efforts to uncover these relationships have relied mainly on experimental approaches [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [16], [17], [18], [19], which are often expensive and time-consuming and have inherent physical restrictions on what can be measured and observed. For these reasons, there is a rapidly growing interest in using computational models to circumvent the challenges of experimental investigations and facilitate a deeper understanding of the process’s fundamental phenomena. While significant progress has been made in developing and deploying numerical frameworks aimed at powder spreading [20], [21], [22], [23], [24], [25], [26], [27] and sintering [28], [29], [30], [31], [32], simulating the interfacial fluid–particle interaction (IFPI) in the binder deposition stage is still in its infancy. In their exhaustive review, Mostafaei et al. [2] point out the lack of computational models capable of resolving the coupled fluid and particle dynamics associated with binder jetting and suggest that the development of such tools is critical to further improving the process and enhancing the quality of its end-use components.

We define IFPI as a multiphase flow regime characterized by immiscible fluid phases separated by dynamic interfaces that intersect the surfaces of moving solid particles. As illustrated in Fig. 1(b), an elaborate IFPI occurs when a binder droplet impacts the powder bed in BJ3DP. The momentum transferred from the impacting droplet may cause powder compaction, cratering, and particle ejection. These ballistic disturbances can have deleterious effects on surface texture and lead to the formation of large void spaces inside the part [5], [13]. After impact, the droplet spreads laterally on the bed surface and vertically into the pore network, driven initially by inertial impact forces and then solely by capillary action [33]. Attractive capillary forces exerted on mutually wetted particles tend to draw them inward towards each other, forming a packed cluster of bound particles referred to as a primitive [34]. A single-drop primitive is the most fundamental building element of a BJ3DP part, and the interaction leading to its formation has important implications on the final part characteristics, such as its mechanical properties, resolution, and dimensional accuracy. Generally, binder droplets are deposited successively as the print head traverses over the powder bed. The traversal speed and jetting frequency are set such that consecutive droplets coalesce in the bed, creating a multi-drop primitive line instead of a single-drop primitive granule. The binder must be jetted with sufficient velocity to penetrate the powder bed deep enough to provide adequate interlayer binding; however, a higher impact velocity leads to more pronounced ballistic effects.

A computational framework equipped to simulate the interdependent fluid and particle dynamics in BJ3DP would allow for unprecedented observational and measurement capability at temporal and spatial resolutions not currently achievable by state-of-the-art imaging technology, namely synchrotron X-ray imaging [13], [14], [18], [19]. Unfortunately, BJ3DP presents significant numerical challenges that have slowed the development of suitable modeling frameworks; the most significant of which are as follows:

1.Incorporating dynamic fluid–fluid interfaces with complex topological features remains a nontrivial task for standard mesh-based CFD codes. There are two broad categories encompassing the methods used to handle interfacial flows: interface tracking and interface capturing [35]. Interface capturing techniques, such as the popular volume-of-fluid (VOF) [36] and level-set methods [37], [38], are better suited for problems with interfaces that become heavily distorted or when coalescence and fragmentation occur frequently; however, they are less accurate in resolving surface tension and boundary layer effects compared to interface tracking methods like front-tracking [39], arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian [40], and space–time finite element formulations [41]. Since interfacial forces become increasingly dominant at decreasing length scales, inaccurate surface tension calculations can significantly deteriorate the fidelity of IFPI simulations involving <100 μm droplets and particles.
2.Dynamic powder systems are often modeled using the discrete element method (DEM) introduced by Cundall and Strack [42]. For IFPI problems, a CFD-DEM coupling scheme is required to exchange information between the fluid and particle solvers. Fully-resolved CFD-DEM coupling suggests that the flow field around individual particle surfaces is resolved on the CFD mesh [43], [44]. In contrast, unresolved coupling volume averages the effect of the dispersed solid phase on the continuous fluid phases [45], [46], [47], [48]. Comparatively, the former is computationally expensive but provides detailed information about the IFPI in question and is more appropriate when contact line dynamics are significant. However, since the pore structure of a powder bed is convoluted and evolves with time, resolving such solid–fluid interfaces on a computational mesh presents similar challenges as fluid–fluid interfaces discussed in the previous point. Although various algorithms have been developed to deform unstructured meshes to accommodate moving solid surfaces (see Bazilevs et al. [49] for an overview of such methods), they can be prohibitively expensive when frequent topology changes require mesh regeneration rather than just modification through nodal displacement. The pore network in a powder bed undergoes many topology changes as particles come in and out of contact with each other, constantly closing and opening new flow channels. Non-body-conforming structured grid approaches that rely on immersed boundary (IB) methods to embed the particles in the flow field can be better suited for such cases [50]. Nevertheless, accurately representing these complex pore geometries on Cartesian grids requires extremely high mesh resolutions, which can impose significant computational costs.
3.Capillary effects depend on the contact angle at solid–liquid–gas intersections. Since mesh nodes do not coincide with a particle surface when using an IB method on structured grids, imposing contact angle boundary conditions at three-phase contact lines is not straightforward.

While these issues also pertain to PBF process modeling, resolving particle motion is generally less crucial for analyzing melt pool dynamics compared to primitive formation in BJ3DP. Therefore, at present, the vast majority of computational process models of PBF assume static powder beds and avoid many of the complications described above, see, e.g., [51], [52], [53], [54], [55], [56], [57], [58], [59]. Li et al. [60] presented the first 2D fully-resolved CFD-DEM simulations of the interaction between the melt pool, powder particles, surrounding gas, and metal vapor in PBF. Following this work, Yu and Zhao [61], [62] published similar melt pool IFPI simulations in 3D; however, contact line dynamics and capillary forces were not considered. Compared to PBF, relatively little work has been published regarding the computational modeling of binder deposition in BJ3DP. Employing the open-source VOF code Gerris [63], Tan [33] first simulated droplet impact on a powder bed with appropriate binder jet parameters, namely droplet size and impact velocity. However, similar to most PBF melt pool simulations described in the current literature, the powder bed was fixed in place and not allowed to respond to the interacting fluid phases. Furthermore, a simple face-centered cubic packing of non-contacting, monosized particles was considered, which does not provide a realistic pore structure for AM powder beds. Building upon this approach, we presented a framework to simulate droplet impact on static powder beds with more practical particle size distributions and packing arrangements [64]. In a study similar to [33], [64], Deng et al. [65] used the VOF capability in Ansys Fluent to examine the lateral and vertical spreading of a binder droplet impacting a fixed bimodal powder bed with body-centered packing. Li et al. [66] also adopted Fluent to conduct 2D simulations of a 100 μm diameter droplet impacting substrates with spherical roughness patterns meant to represent the surface of a simplified powder bed with monosized particles. The commercial VOF-based software FLOW-3D offers an AM module centered on process modeling of various AM technologies, including BJ3DP. However, like the above studies, particle motion is still not considered in this codebase. Ur Rehman et al. [67] employed FLOW-3D to examine microdroplet impact on a fixed stainless steel powder bed. Using OpenFOAM, Erhard et al. [68] presented simulations of different droplet impact spacings and patterns on static sand particles.

Recently, Fuchs et al. [69] introduced an impressive multipurpose smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) framework capable of resolving IFPI in various AM methods, including both PBF and BJ3DP. In contrast to a combined CFD-DEM approach, this model relies entirely on SPH meshfree discretization of both the fluid and solid governing equations. The authors performed several prototype simulations demonstrating an 80 μm diameter droplet impacting an unconstrained powder bed at different speeds. While the powder bed responds to the hydrodynamic forces imparted by the impacting droplet, the particle motion is inconsistent with experimental time-resolved observations of the process [13]. Specifically, the ballistic effects, such as particle ejection and bed deformation, were drastically subdued, even in simulations using a droplet velocity ∼ 5× that of typical jetting conditions. This behavior could be caused by excessive damping in the inter-particle contact force computations within their SPH framework. Moreover, the wetted particles did not appear to be significantly influenced by the strong capillary forces exerted by the binder as no primitive agglomeration occurred. The authors mention that the objective of these simulations was to demonstrate their codebase’s broad capabilities and that some unrealistic process parameters were used to improve computational efficiency and stability, which could explain the deviations from experimental observations.

In the present paper, we develop a novel 3D CFD-DEM numerical framework for simulating fully-resolved IFPI during binder jetting with realistic material properties and process parameters. The CFD module is based on the VOF method for capturing binder–air interfaces. Surface tension effects are realized through the continuum surface force (CSF) method with height function calculations of interface curvature. Central to our fluid solver is a proprietary block-structured AMR library with hierarchical octree grid nesting to focus enhanced grid resolution near fluid–fluid interfaces. The GPU-accelerated DEM module considers six degrees of freedom particle motion and includes models based on Hertz-Mindlin contact, van der Waals cohesion, and viscoelastic rolling resistance. The CFD and DEM modules are coupled to achieve fully-resolved IFPI using an IB approach in which Lagrangian solid particles are mapped to the underlying Eulerian fluid mesh through a solid volume fraction field. An improved VOF-IB extension algorithm is introduced to enforce the contact angle at three-phase intersections. This provides robust capillary flow behavior and accurate computations of the fluid-induced forces and torques acting on individual wetted particles in densely packed powder beds.

We deploy our integrated codebase for direct numerical simulations of single-drop primitive formation with powder beds whose particle size distributions are generated from corresponding laboratory samples. These simulations use jetting parameters similar to those employed in current BJ3DP machines, fluid properties that match commonly used aqueous polymeric binders, and powder properties specific to nickel alloy feedstocks. The cohesion behavior of the DEM powder is calibrated based on the angle of repose of the laboratory powder systems. The resulting primitive granules are compared with those obtained from one-to-one experiments conducted using a dedicated in-house test apparatus. Finally, we demonstrate how the proposed framework can simulate more complex and realistic printing operations involving multi-drop primitive lines.

Severe storm surge inundation was caused by the typhoon Maemi in Masan Bay, South Korea in September 2003. To
investigate the differences in the storm surge inundation simulated by three-dimensional (3D) and two-dimensional
models, we used the ADvanced CIRCulation model (ADCIRC) and 3D computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model
(FLOW3D). The simulation results were compared to the flood plain map of Masan Bay following the typhoon Maemi.
To improve the accuracy of FLOW3D, we used a high-resolution digital surface model with a few tens of centimeterresolution, produced by aerial LIDAR survey. Comparison of the results between ADCRIC and FLOW3D simulations shows that the inclusion of detailed information on buildings and topography has an impact, delaying seawater propagation and resulting in a reduced inundation depth and flooding area. Furthermore, we simulated the effect of the installation of a storm surge barrier on the storm surge inundation. The barrier acted to decrease the water volume of the inundation and delayed the arrival time of the storm surge, implying that the storm surge barrier provides more time for residents’ evacuation.

2003 년 9 월 대한민국 마산만 태풍 매미에 의해 심한 폭풍 해일 침수가 발생했습니다. 3 차원 (3D) 및 2 차원 모델로 시뮬레이션 한 폭풍 해일 침수의 차이를 조사하기 위해 ADvanced CIRCulation 모델 ( ADCIRC) 및 3D 전산 유체 역학 (CFD) 모델 (FLOW3D).

시뮬레이션 결과는 태풍 매미 이후 마산만 범람원 지도와 비교되었다. FLOW-3D의 정확도를 높이기 위해 우리는 항공 LIDAR 측량으로 생성된 수십 센티미터 해상도의 고해상도 디지털 표면 모델을 사용했습니다.

ADCRIC과 FLOW3D 시뮬레이션의 결과를 비교하면 건물과 지형에 대한 자세한 정보를 포함하면 해수 전파가 지연되고 침수 깊이와 침수 면적이 감소하는 것으로 나타났습니다.

또한, 폭풍 해일 침수에 대한 폭풍 해일 장벽 설치의 효과를 시뮬레이션했습니다. 이 장벽은 침수 물량을 줄이고 폭풍 해일 도착 시간을 지연시키는 역할을 하여 폭풍 해일 장벽이 주민들의 대피에 더 많은 시간을 제공한다는 것을 의미합니다.

INTRODUCTION

2003 년 9 월 12 일 태풍 매미로 인한 강한 폭풍 해일이 남해안을 강타했습니다. 마산 만 일대는 심한 폭풍우 침수로 인해 최악의 피해를 입었고 광범위한 홍수를 겪었습니다. 따라서 마산 만에 예방 체계를 구축하기 위해 폭풍 해일에 의한 침수에 대한 수치 예측을 시도하는 선행 연구가 수행되었다 (Park et al. 2011).

그러나 일반적인 2 차원 (2D) 또는 3 차원 (3D) 수압 가정을 사용할 때 지형의 해상도는 복잡한 해안 구조를 표현하기에 충분하지 않습니다. 따라서 우리는 마산 만의 고해상도 지형도를 통해 전산 유체 역학 (CFD)의 침수 시뮬레이션을 제시한다.

태풍 매미는 2003 년 9 월 12 일 12시 (UTC)에 한반도에 상륙하여 남동부 해안을 따라 추적했습니다 (그림 1). 2003 년 9 월 13 일 6시 (UTC)에 동 일본해로 이동하여 온대 저기압이되었습니다.

풍속과 기압면에서 한국을 강타한 가장 강력한 태풍 중 하나입니다. 특히 마산 만에 접해있는 마산시는 폭풍 해일 홍수로 최악의 피해를 입어 32 명이 사망하고 심각한 해안 피해를 입었다. 태풍이 지나가는 동안 중앙 기압은 950hPa, 진행 속도는 45kmh-1로 마산항의 조 위계를 통해 최대 약 2.3m의 서지 높이를 기록했다.

마산 만에 접한 주거 및 상업 지역은 홍수가 심했고 지하 시설은 폭풍 해일로 침수로 어려움을 겪었습니다 (Yasuda et al. 2005). 이 논문에서는 3D CFD 모델 (FLOW 3D)과 2D ADvanced CIRCulation 모델 (ADCIRC)을 사용하여 기록 된 마산 만에서 가장 큰 폭풍 해일 중 하나에 의해 생성 된 해안 침수를 시뮬레이션했습니다.

건물의 높이와 공간 정보를 포함하는 디지털 표면 모델 (DSM)은 LiDAR (Airborne Light Detection and Ranging)에 의해 만들어졌으며, 폭풍 해일 침수 모델, 즉 3D CFD 모델 (FLOW 3D)의 입력 데이터로 사용되었습니다. ). 또한 ADCIRC의 시뮬레이션 결과는 FLOW3D의 경계 조건으로 사용됩니다.

본 연구의 목적은 극심한 침수 높이와 해안 육지로의 범람을 포함하여 마산 만에서 태풍 매미로 인한 폭풍 해일 침수를 재현하는 것이다.

CFD Stirs Up Mixing 일반

CFD (전산 유체 역학) 전문가가 필요하고 때로는 실행하는데 몇 주가 걸리는 믹싱 시뮬레이션의 시대는 오래 전입니다. 컴퓨팅 및 관련 기술의 엄청난 도약에 힘 입어 Ansys, Comsol 및 Flow Science와 같은 회사는 엔지니어의 데스크톱에 사용하기 쉬운 믹싱 시뮬레이션을 제공하고 있습니다.

“병렬화 및 고성능 컴퓨팅의 발전과 템플릿화는 비전문 화학 엔지니어에게 정확한 CFD 시뮬레이션을 제공했습니다.”라고 펜실베이니아 주 피츠버그에있는 Ansys Inc.의 수석 제품 마케팅 관리자인 Bill Kulp는 말합니다 .

흐름 개선을위한 실용적인 지침이 필요하십니까? 다운로드 화학 처리의 eHandbook을 지금 흐름 도전 싸우는 방법!

예를 들어, 회사는 휴스턴에있는 Nalco Champion과 함께 프로젝트를 시작했습니다. 이 프로젝트는 시뮬레이션 전문가가 아닌 화학 엔지니어에게 Ansys Fluent 및 ACT (분석 제어 기술) 템플릿 기반 시뮬레이션 앱에 대한 액세스 권한을 부여합니다. 새로운 화학 물질을위한 프로세스를 빠르고 효율적으로 확장합니다.

Giving Mixing Its Due

“화학 산업은 CFD와 같은 계산 도구를 사용하여 많은 것을 얻을 수 있지만 혼합 프로세스는 단순하다고 가정하기 때문에 간과되는 경우가 있습니다. 그러나 최신 수치 기법을 사용하여 우수한 성능을 달성하는 흥미로운 방법이 많이 있습니다.”라고 Flow Science Inc. , Santa Fe, NM의 CFD 엔지니어인 Ioannis Karampelas는 말합니다 .

이러한 많은 기술이 회사의 Flow-3D Multiphysics 모델링 소프트웨어 패키지와 전용 포스트 프로세서 시각화 도구 인 FlowSight에 포함되어 있습니다.

“모든 상업용 CFD 패키지는 어떤 형태의 시각화 도구와 번들로 제공되지만 FlowSight는 매우 강력하고 사용하기 쉽고 이해하기 쉽게 설계되었습니다. 예를 들어, 프로세스를 재 설계하려는 엔지니어는 다양한 설계 변경의 효과를 평가하기 위해 매우 직관적인 시각화 도구가 필요합니다.”라고 그는 설명합니다.

이 접근 방식은 실험 측정을 얻기 어려운 공정 (예 : 쉽게 측정 할 수없는 매개 변수 및 독성 물질의 존재로 인해 본질적으로 위험한 공정)을 더 잘 이해하고 최적화하는데 특히 효과적입니다.

동일한 접근 방식은 또한 믹서 관련 장비 공급 업체가 고객 요구에 맞게 제품을보다 정확하게 개발하고 맞춤화하는 데 도움이되었습니다. “이는 불필요한 프로토 타이핑 비용이나 잠재적 인 과도한 엔지니어링을 방지합니다. 두 가지 모두 일부 공급 업체의 문제였습니다.”라고 Karampelas는 말합니다.

CFD 기술 자체는 계속해서 발전하고 있습니다. 예를 들어, 수치 알고리즘의 관점에서 볼 때 구형 입자의 상호 작용이 열 전달을 적절하게 모델링하는 데 중요한 다양한 문제에 대해 이산 요소 모델링을 쉽게 적용 할 수있는 반면, LES 난류 모델은 난류 흐름 패턴을 정확하게 시뮬레이션하는 데 이상적입니다.

컴퓨팅 리소스에 대한 비용과 수요에도 불구하고 Karampelas는 난류 모델의 전체 제품군을 제공 할 수있는 것이 중요하다고 생각합니다. 특히 LES는 이미 대부분의 학계와 일부 산업 (예 : 전력 공학)에서 선택하는 방법이기 때문입니다. .

그럼에도 불구하고 CFD의 사용이 제한적이거나 비실용적 일 수있는 경우는 확실히 있습니다. 여기에는 나노 입자에서 벌크 유체 증발을 모델링하는 것과 같이 관심의 규모가 다른 규모에 따라 달라질 수있는 문제와 중요한 물리적 현상이 아직 알려지지 않았거나 제대로 이해되지 않았거나 아마도 매우 복잡한 문제 (예 : 모델링)가 포함됩니다. 음 펨바 효과”라고 Karampelas는 경고합니다.

반면에 더욱 강력한 하드웨어와 업데이트 된 수치 알고리즘의 출현은 CFD 소프트웨어를 사용하여 과다한 설계 및 최적화 문제를 해결하기위한 최적의 접근 방식이 될 것이라고 그는 믿습니다.

“복잡한 열교환 시스템 및 새로운 혼합 기술과 같이 점점 더 복잡한 공정을 모델링 할 수있는 능력은 가까운 장래에 가능할 수있는 일을 간단히 보여줍니다. 수치적 방법 사용의 주요 이점은 설계자가 상상력에 의해서만 제한되어 소규모 믹서에서 대규모 반응기 및 증류 컬럼에 이르기까지 다양한 화학 플랜트 공정을 최적화 할 수있는 길을 열어 준다는 것입니다. 실험적 또는 경험적 접근 방식은 항상 관련성이 있지만 CFD가 미래의 엔지니어를위한 선택 도구가 될 것이라고 확신합니다.”라고 그는 결론을 내립니다.

Simulation of Joule heating-based Core Drying

This article was contributed by Eric Riedel ^1,2

현대의 주조 생산에는 샌드 코어를 사용해야 합니다. 환경 인식의 확대는 물론 규제 강화로 인해 코어가 열로 건조되고 치유되는 무기, 무배출 바인더 시스템 개발이 뒷받침되고 있습니다. 핫박스 공정이라고 하는 것에서는 코어 박스에서 열이 발생하여 샌드바인더 혼합물로 전달됩니다. 그러나 핫박스 공정은 크게 두 가지 기술적 단점을 보입니다.

첫 번째 단점은 약 1 W/(m·K)의 석영 모래의 열전도율이 매우 낮다는 것입니다. 외부 열 전달로 인해 공정에 시간이 많이 소요되고 쉘 형성과 그에 따른 품질 문제가 발생할 수 있습니다. 이 때문에 최대 523.15K 이상의 매우 높은 코어 박스 온도가 적용되어 열 전달을 가속합니다. 열상자 공정의 두 번째 단점은 코어 건조 자체를 실시간으로 직접 측정하고 디지털화할 수 없다는 점입니다. 대신 코어 박스에서와 같은 주변 파라미터를 기록해야만 수동적으로 측정할 수 있습니다.

ACS 프로세스

특허받은 새로운 ACS(Advanced Core Solution) 프로세스는 시간과 에너지 효율이 높은 코어 건조 및 양생을 목표로 합니다. ACS 프로세스는 모든 무기 바인더 시스템에 공통적인 특성을 사용합니다.

물 기반이기 때문에 전기적으로 전도성이 있습니다. 주요 요인은 전기 전도성 코어 박스 재료의 개발로, 모래-바인더 혼합물에 대한 전도도를 조정할 수 있습니다. 전압이 인가되면 그림 1에서와 같이 코어 박스와 모래-바인더 혼합물을 통해 전류가 균일하게 흐릅니다. 좀 더 정확히 말하면, 전류가 모래 알갱이 사이에 있는 전기 전도성 바인더 브리지를 통해 흐릅니다.

고유의 전기 저항으로 인해 모래 중심부는 셸 형성 없이 균일하게 가열됩니다. Joule heating이라 불리는 그 이면의 과학적 원리는 Joule 의 제1법칙에 근거하고 있습니다. 직렬 공정에서 전기 전도성 코어 박스는 Joule heating을 통해 가열되어 건조 공정이 추가로 가속화됩니다. 이는 ACS 공정의 경우 코어 박스 내부의 복잡한 가열 장치가 더 이상 필요하지 않으므로 코어 박스 구조가 단순화되기 때문에 더욱 중요한 장점입니다.

이 새로운 프로세스를 통해 처음으로 열이 필요한 곳, 즉 코어 내에서 직접 생성됩니다. 필요한 열은 균질하게 분포된 바인더를 통해 생성되어 인접 모래로 전달되기 때문에, 석영 모래의 낮은 열전도율은 더 이상 제한 공정 인자가 아닙니다. 또한 최초로 건조별 전기 파라미터를 기록함으로써 건조 프로세스 자체를 포괄적으로 실시간 모니터링할 수 있습니다. FLOW-3D를 사용하여 ACS 프로세스를 시뮬레이션할 수 있으며, 프로세스 편익의 정량화를 포함한 산업적 적용에 대한 중요한 기준을 충족합니다.

*그림 1: 전류 흐름의 기본 비교: a) 미포함, b) 코어 박스의 전기 전도도를 모래-바인더 혼합물에 대한 조정*

모델 설명

모델링은 Starobin 등의 작업을 기반으로 합니다. [1], 그러나 FLOW-3D의 전기-기계 모델로 확장합니다. 전기 전위(즉, 냄비 = 1)를 활성화하면 전기-열 효과, 즉 줄 가열(에테르모 = 1)을 고려해야 합니다.

모델 세부 정보는 [2]에서 확인할 수 있습니다. 구성 요소의 전기적 특성을 통해 코어 박스는 전기 전도도(초)와 유전 전위(오디엘)를 가진 동적 전위(오이포템 = 1)를 할당받으며, 전체 모래-바인더 혼합물의 전기 전도도를 설명하기 위해 모래 코어에도 동일하게 적용됩니다.

전극에는 한 전극에 대해 고정 전위(외전 = 0), 전기 전도도, 음전위(외전)가 할당되고 다른 전극에 대해서는 양의 전위(외전)가 할당됩니다. 전기 전도도에 대한 온도에 의존하는 정의는 아직 가능하지 않기 때문에, 우리는 재시동 시뮬레이션과 능동 시뮬레이션 제어로 작업했습니다.

이렇게 하면 각 온도 범위의 평균 전기 전도도, 즉 293.15 ~ 303.15 K, 303.15 ~ 313.15 K 등을 고려할 수 있다. 다음의 조사는 1유체 시뮬레이션에 초점을 맞춘 조사, 즉 purging 은 고려하지 않았습니다.

예제

첫 번째 단계에서는 상업적으로 이용 가능한 무기 모래-바인더 혼합물이 가열 및 온도에 의존하는 전기 전도성을 조사하기 위해 시뮬레이션 모델의 실험 조사 및 유효성 검사를 위해 사용되었습니다.

373.15 K에 도달하는 데 필요한 시간뿐만 아니라 모래 코어에 입력되는 전력 및 에너지를 측정하였다. 실험 분석과 결과를 바탕으로 기초적인 시뮬레이션 모델을 만들었습니다. 재량권을 이유로, 기초 결과 중 일부는 질적으로만 제시된다. 결과는 그림 2에 제시되어 있으며, 측정값과 시뮬레이션 사이의 높은 수준을 보여줍니다.

Comparison of experimental and simulation results — 그림 2: 실험 결과와 시뮬레이션 결과의 비교.
측정 지점은 293.15 K: a) 온도 상승 전력 입력- 측정값으로부터의 평균 편차: 0,95 %, b) 에너지 입력 – 측정값으로부터의 평균 편차: 4.8 %에서 시작하여 10 단계로 지정된 목표 온도의 도달도를 나타냅니다.

검증된 결과를 바탕으로 단순하지만 부피가 큰 기하학을 이용해 ACS 프로세스와 시뮬레이션을 보여주는데, 고전적인 핫박스 프로세스에 비해 진보된 ACS 개발의 기초와 높은 잠재력을 잘 보여줍니다.

기하학적 정렬은 그림 3에서 확인할 수 있습니다. (1) 고전적인 핫박스 프로세스, (2) 콜드 툴을 사용하는 ACS 콜드 스타트 프로세스(293.15 K), (3) 줄 효과로 인한 공구 난방에 대한 ACS 시리즈 프로세스 등 세 가지 경우를 시뮬레이션했습니다. 모든 3차원 모델은 1mm 크기의 셀로 분쇄되었습니다. 표 1은 계산된 시나리오의 가장 중요한 세부 사항을 요약합니다.

값은 실제 실험에서 파생됩니다.

결과 및 토론

그림 4는 고전적인 핫박스 공정을 위한 온도와 수분 발달을 보여주며, 외부 열 전달 및 그에 상응하는 수분 감소를 명확히 보여주고 있습니다.

시뮬레이션은 시뮬레이션의 마지막에 모래 코어 센터에 수분이 남아 있는 상태에서 120초 동안 수행되었습니다. 실제로 사이클 타임 대상은 코어 센터에 쉘 형성과 잔류 수분이 있는 건조 프로세스의 조기 종료를 강요합니다. 단, 그림 5에 나타낸 ACS 콜드 스타트 시뮬레이션(코어 슈팅 머신을 가동했을 때의 첫 번째 샷에 대응)에서는 새로운 프로세스의 기본 원리인 코어의 균일한 heating이 내부 아웃 수분 수송으로 이어집니다.

게다가, 모래 코어는 코어 박스보다 더 빨리 가열됩니다. 직렬 공정에서 코어 박스는 Joule heating을 통해 373.15 K 이상의 온도에 도달하여 고온 박스와 ACS 공정이 혼합되어 건조 공정이 더욱 가속화됩니다.

ACS 영상 시리즈 시뮬레이션의 결과는 그림 6에 요약되어 있습니다. 핫박스 공정에서 120초가 지나도 모래심이 완전히 낫지 않지만, ACS 공정에서는 72초나 45초 후에 코어가 완전히 건조될 수 있습니다. 코어 박스 온도가 상당히 낮음에도 불구하고, 새로운 프로세스는 코어 건조에서 상당한 가속도와 새로운 접근방식의 큰 잠재력을 보여줍니다.

한 가지 주요 이점은 관련 에너지 요건과 그에 상응하는 CO₂ 배출량을 포함하여 사이클 타임의 대폭적인 감소입니다. 모래심에 유입된 에너지는 시뮬레이션을 이용해 미리 예측은 물론 실제 공정 중에도 측정할 수 있어 공정 설계와 투명성 측면에서 또 다른 큰 장점입니다.

또한, 시뮬레이션은 시험 표본의 기하학적 독립적 동질 난방을 명확히 보여주는데, 이는 습기가 코어 중심에 갇히지 않고 셸 형성을 방지함을 의미합니다. 전체적으로, 새로운 공정은 공정의 효율성과 무기적으로 결합된 모래 코어의 품질에서도 상당한 증가를 가능하게 합니다. 세 가지 사례의 프로세스 도표는 모두 그림 7에 요약되어 있습니다.

요약 및 전망

시연된 모델링은 새로운 코어 건조 프로세스를 정확하게 시뮬레이션하는 FLOW-3D의 기능과 기존의 핫 박스 프로세스와 비교하여 보다 효율적인 코어 건조 및 양생에 대한 새로운 프로세스의 가능성을 보여줍니다. 새로운 시뮬레이션 설정이 아직 개발 단계에 있고 더 많은 실제 사례 실험이 필요한 경우에도 건조 동작에 대한 뛰어난 통찰력을 얻을 수 있으며, 지금까지의 실험 측정과 매우 잘 일치합니다.

현재 시뮬레이션 내에서 모래-바인더 혼합물의 전기 전도성은 석영모래를 통해 생성되며, 실제로는 전기 전도성이 아니라 실제 측정된 모래-바인더 혼합물의 전기 전도성에 해당된다. 이렇게 하면 전체 모래-바인더 혼합물의 전기 전도성이 시뮬레이션에서 설명되며 실험 결과에 적합한 것으로 보입니다. 좀 더 정밀한 시뮬레이션을 위해, 실제 전도성 곡선을 고려하기 위해 고체 코어의 온도에 의존하는 전기 전도성(예: 모래-바인더 혼합물)을 절약할 수 있는 가능성이 도움이 될 것입니다. 추가 단계는 2유체 시뮬레이션 모델에 집중됩니다. 초기 실험은 좋은 결과로 기본적인 타당성을 보여줍니다.

아직 취해야 할 조치에도 불구하고, FLOW-3D로 ACS 공정을 시뮬레이션할 수 있는 능력은 줄 가열 기반 코어 건조 공정을 전체적으로 수립하는 데 중요한 이정표를 세우고 무기 모래 코어 제조에 이 공정의 이점을 보여준다고 할 수 있습니다.

접촉선의 이해(Contact Line Insights)

FLOW-3D는 코팅 성능 향상에 관심이있는 엔지니어에게 이상적인 수치 모델링 기능을 많이 갖추고 있습니다. 전산 시뮬레이션은 코팅 흐름에 영향을 미치는 여러 물리적 과정의 상대적 중요성과 효과를 연구 할 수있는 훌륭한 방법입니다. 물리적인 테스트에서 항상 프로세스를 분리하거나 해당 프로세스의 크기를 임의로 조정할 수있는 것은 아닙니다. 여기에서는 리 볼렛 형성(rivulet formation), 핑거링(fingering), 증발, 거친 표면에서의 접촉선 이동 및 유체 흡수와 관련하여 정적 및 동적 접촉각에 대하여 FLOW-3D의 처리에 대해 설명합니다.

정적 및 동적 접촉각(Static and Dynamic Contact Angles)

FLOW-3D는 정적 접촉각의 함수로 동적 접촉각을 정확하게 계산하고 입력으로 설정하며 자유 표면 인터페이스에서 작용하는 관련된 힘을 정확하게 계산하여 유체의 소수성을 캡처 할 수 있습니다. 아래 시뮬레이션은 물방울이 경사를 따라 내려갈 때 정적 접촉각이 동적 접촉각에 미치는 영향을 보여줍니다.

흡수(Absorption)

종이 기판에 액 적의 충격 및 흡수는 전산 유체 역학 소프트웨어를 사용하여 연구 할 수 있습니다. 여기서 FLOW-3D는 섬유층에서 물방울 충돌을 시뮬레이션하는데 사용되며 표면 장력, 접촉각 및 점도와 관련된 유체 전면의 전파를 살펴 봅니다.

아래의 FLOW-3D 시뮬레이션에서, 낙하는 직경이 40 미크론이며 초기 하향 속도는 300 cm / s입니다. 기재는 종이이고, 기공률이 30 % 인 20 미크론 두께입니다.

액체 필름의 핑거링(Fingering in Liquid Films)

FLOW-3D에서 동적 접촉선은 동적 접촉각이나 접촉선의 위치를 지정할 필요없이 직접 모델링됩니다. 이는 소량의 유체에서 유체에 영향을 미치는 모든 동적 힘을 포함하는 수치 모델을 사용하여 수행됩니다. 정적 접촉각은 액체-고체 접착력을 특성화 하는데 사용됩니다.

여기서, 이러한 접근법의 힘의 적용은 경사 표면 아래로 흐르는 액체 필름에서 관찰 된 핑거링에 의해 제공됩니다. 실험적 관찰에 따르면 두 가지 뚜렷한 핑거링 패턴이 발생합니다. 첫 번째 패턴은 작은 정적 접촉각(즉, 습윤 조건)이며 상하한이 모두 하향으로 움직이는 쐐기형 핑거를 나타냅니다. 두 번째 패턴은 큰 정적 접촉각(즉, 습윤 조건이 열악함)이며 가장 균일한 폭을 가진 긴 핑거이고 가장 큰 한계점은 하향으로 움직이지 않는 것이 특징입니다.

증발 효과(Evaporative Effects)

퇴적(Deposit)

분산 된 고체 물질을 함유하는 액 적은 고체 표면에서 건조 될 때, 함유하고 있는 고체 물질을 침전물로서 남깁니다. 이 침전물의 형상이 많은 인쇄 공정, 청소 및 코팅 공정에 중요한 영향을 미칩니다. 한 종류의 퇴적물의 전형적인 예는 위의 이미지와 같이 엎질러 진 커피 패치의 둘레를 따라 링 얼룩이 형성되는 “커피 링” 문제입니다. 이 유형의 링 침전물은 액체의 증발로 인한 표면 장력 구동 흐름의 결과로, 특히 낙하 둘레에서 발생합니다.

건조(Drying)

*FLOW-3D의 증발 잔류 액체 모델은 건조 후 톨루엔으로 형성된 잔류된 물의 3D형상을 시뮬레이션합니다. (30 배 확대)*

건조는 코팅 공정의 중요한 부분입니다. 하지만 건조의 결함으로 잘 도포 된 코팅을 완전히 취소 할 수도 있습니다. 건조 중에 온도 및 용질 구배는 밀도 및 표면 장력 구배로 인해 코팅 내 유동을 유도 할 수 있으며, 이는 코팅 품질을 잠재적으로 파괴 할 수 있습니다. FLOW-3D의 증발 잔류 물 모델을 사용하면 건조로 인한 흐름을 시뮬레이션하고 값 비싼 물리적 실험에 소요되는 시간을 줄일 수 있습니다.

모델링 링 형성(Modeling Ring Formation)

윗쪽 그림에서 FLOW-3D는 증발이 가장 큰 접촉선에서의 증착으로 인해 에지 피닝(edge pinning)이 발생함을 보여줍니다. 증발은 증발로 인한 열 손실로 인해 액체를 냉각시킵니다 (색상은 온도를 나타냄). 동시에 고체 표면은 전도에 의해 액체를 가열합니다. 접촉선 주변에서 증발이 가장 커서, 액체가 접촉선을 향해 흘러 정적 조건을 재설정합니다. 최종 결과는 액체가 완전히 증발하는 액체 가장자리에 현탁 된 고체의 증착입니다.

Sand Core Making / 모래 코어 제작

Sand Core Making / 모래 코어 제작

This article on sand core making was contributed by Dr. Matthias Todte and Frieder Semler, Flow Science Deutschland GmbH.

주조 품질에 대한 수요가 증가하고 고성능 구성 요소에 대한 박막형 구조로의 추세로 인해 품질에 대한 요구가 강화되었으며 동시에 모래 코어의 기하학적 복잡성도 증가했습니다. 시뮬레이션은 코어 박스의 설계를 최적화하는 데 도움이 되며, 저온 및 고온 코어 박스를 위한 유기 및 무기 바인더 시스템의 촬영, 가스 처리 및 경화를 위한 강력한 공정 조건을 확립합니다.

기체 주입, 건조 및 템퍼링의 기본 프로세스에 대한 논의는 실험적 검증을 거쳐야 합니다. 그런 다음 주물 결함을 방지하기 위해 코어 사격 공정 시뮬레이션이 필수적이었는지를 보여 줍니다. 마지막으로 코어 박스의 마모와 수명을 예측하는 수치모델을 개발한 연구 프로젝트를 소개합니다.

Shooting

Shooting Simulation에서 모래로 채워진 타격 헤드가 공기를 통해 가압되고, 이로 인해 공기/모래/실린더/바인더 혼합물로 구성된 “유체”가 생성됩니다. 이 유체는 분사 노즐을 통해 코어 박스로 흐르고 배출 노즐을 통해 상자 밖으로 공기가 배출됩니다. Shooting Simulation의 목적은 코어 박스에 있는 모래의 밀도분포를 높히고 균일하게 하는 것입니다.

촬영 과정에서 모래로 채워진 블로 헤드가 공기를 통해 가압되어 공기/모래/바인더 혼합물로 구성된 “유체”가 생성됩니다. 이 유체는 블로우 헤드에서 분사 노즐을 통해 코어 박스로 흘러 나와 공기를 환기 노즐을 통해 박스 밖으로 밀어냅니다. Shooting 의 목표는 가능한 한 높고 균일하게 코어 박스에 있는 모래의 밀도 분포를 달성하는 것입니다. 변경할 수 있는 프로세스 매개 변수는 분사 압력과 발사 및 배기 노즐의 수와 위치입니다. 시간과 비용을 절약하기 위해 코어의 품질을 저하시키지 않고 가능한 한 노즐을 적게 사용하는 것이 바람직합니다.

시뮬레이션을 사용하여 다양한 사격 및 환기 노즐 구성과 그 구성이 결과 모래 밀도 분포에 미치는 영향을 분석할 수 있습니다. 엔지니어는 속도와 전단 응력을 예측하여 코어 상자의 마모 및 이에 따른 수명에 대한 결론을 도출할 수 있습니다.

Gassing

유기 바인더 시스템에서는 모래가 유기 수지로 코팅됩니다. 이 수지의 경화는 보통 아민이라는 기체에 의해 이루어지는데, 이것은 일반적으로 분사에 사용된 노즐을 통해 주입됩니다. 이 가스는 코어가 모든 부분에서 경화되도록 하기위해 모든부분에 도달할 만큼 길어야 한다. 반면에, 유독 가스를 줄이기 위해서는 가스 배출이 필요이상으로 길어서는 안됩니다.

유기 바인더 시스템에서는 모래가 유기 레진으로 코팅되어 있습니다. 이 레진의 경화는 보통 아민 가스 작용제에 의해 이루어지는데, 아민은 주로 인젝션에 사용되는 노즐을 통해 분사됩니다. 이 가스 주입은 가스가 코어의 모든 부분에 도달할 수 있도록 충분히 길어야 합니다. 코어가 모든 곳에서 경화되도록 하기 위해서입니다. 반면, 가스 배출은 독성 가스를 절약하기 위해 필요 이상으로 길지 않아야 합니다.

Amine concentration in a core

시뮬레이션은 시간 경과에 따른 코어의 아민 농도 분포를 예측하며, 이는 코어의 경도와 동일하다. 이를 통해 엔지니어들은 가스 생성 공정에 대한 합리적인 시간 규모를 결정할 수 있습니다.

Drying

주조물의 수가 증가하는 경우, 독성이 있는 유기적 시스템 대신 무기, 수성-기반 바인더 시스템이 사용됩니다. 배기 가스 배출이 없는 코어 생산 공정의 이점 외에도 이 시스템은 주조 공정 중 코어 가스 생산량을 줄여 주조 품질을 향상시킵니다.

모래 코어의 경화를 위해서는 일반적으로 뜨거운 공기가 주입되어 이루어지는 코어에서 물을 제거해야 합니다. 이러한 바인더 시스템의 경우, 코어의 잔류 수분은 경도에 대한 측정 값입니다. 시뮬레이션은 코어를 통과하는 공기의 흐름뿐만 아니라 물이나 증기의 증발과 응축, 뜨거운 공기와 함께 증기의 이동을 모델링 해야 합니다.

아래 이미지는 예측된 잔류 수분과 실제 코어의 강도(또는 손상)의 상관 관계를 보여 줍니다.

Tempering of core boxes

핫 박스 및 크로닝과 같은 특정 코어 제조 공정에서는 가열된 코어 박스에 있는 바인더의 열 반응을 통해 코어의 경화가 이루어집니다. 상자의 가열은 가열 채널과 전기 가열 요소를 사용하여 수행됩니다. 좋은 코어 품질을 위해서는 코어 상자의 균일한 온도 분포가 바람직합니다. 시뮬레이션은 특정 가열 소자 구성에 대한 온도 분포를 시간 경과에 따른 예측하고 발열의 균일성과 원하는 온도에 도달하는 데 필요한 시간을 표시합니다.

핵심 shooting 실험은 TU 뮌헨의 파운드리 연구소에서 실시되었습니다. shooting 시간과 압력, 흡입구와 환기구의 수 등의 공정 매개 변수들이 다양하였으며 이들 매개 변수들이 분석된 코어 품질에 미치는 영향이 다양하였다. 실제 코어에서 발생한 결점은 시뮬레이션에서 모래 밀도가 낮은 영역과 상관 관계가 있습니다(아래 그림 참조).

코어 박스는 대부분 폴리우레탄 수지 코팅의 알루미늄으로 제작된다. 사격 과정에서 모래에 의한 코어 박스 표면의 침식은 코어 박스의 수명을 제한하는 요인이다. 프로젝트 목표는 표면 처리가 수명에 미치는 영향을 이해하고 단일 시뮬레이션에서 다수의 샷에 의해 발생하는 침식을 예측할 수 있는 연산 모델을 개발하는 침식 프로세스를 분석하는 것이었다.

FLOW-3D CAST의 모델링 기능을 사용하면 주조 엔지니어가 코어 주입과 건조와 같은 코어 제작 프로세스를 쉽게 시뮬레이션 할 수 있습니다.

Core Shooting

샌드 코어는 모래-공기 혼합물을 주형으로 분사하여 생성됩니다. 주조 엔지니어의 목표는 모래 내의 공기 불순물 유입을 방지하는 것 인데, 이때 사용자는 안정적으로 FLOW-3D CAST의 모델링 기능을 통해 모래가 주입되는 노즐의 개수와 위치 및 공기가 빠져나가는 벤트 노즐의 개수와 위치를 변경하여 최적의 노즐 구성을 얻을 수 있습니다.

Core Drying

코어 건조 모델은 모래가 코어 금형으로 주입된 후 남아 있는 습기의 건조 과정을 계산합니다. 일반적으로 건조는 금형에 있는 동안 코어를 통해 뜨거운 공기를 불어넣음으로써 이루어집니다. 코어의 저온 부분에서 가열, 수분 증발 및 일시적인 습기 응결을 시뮬레이션하여 건조 과정을 최적화할 수 있습니다. 이를 통해 완전한 건조를 보장하는 동시에 공기의 가열 및 배출과 관련된 에너지 비용을 최소화할 수 있습니다.

수분 건조 / Moisture Drying

FLOW-3D는 광범위하게 적용 가능한 습기 건조 모델을 제공합니다. 종이, 직물 또는 모래 코어와 같은 다공성 물질의 건조 과정을 시뮬레이션할 수 있습니다.

아래의 예는 모래 코어의 건조를 시뮬레이션할 수 있는 가능성을 보여 줍니다. BMW는 자사의 금속 주물 사업에 사용되는 무기물이 없는 모래 코어에서 물을 제거하는 데 관심을 표명했습니다.

물리적 관점에서 볼 때 모래 바인더에 포함된 물을 제거하기 위해 뜨거운 공기가 다공성 모래를 통과하는 것은 개념적으로 젖은 종이에서 물을 제거하는 것과 다르지 않습니다. 아래 그림은 초기 수분의 절반 정도를 제거한 후 코어에 남아 있는 수분에 대한 시뮬레이션과 실험 사이의 비교를 보여 줍니다.

이 경우는 건조 과정에서 초기에 증발한 후에 뜨거운 공기 주입구에서 더 멀리 떨어진 코어의 더 차가운 부분으로 응축되는 일부 물 때문에 보이는 것보다 더 복잡합니다. BMW의 핵심 건조 모델 사용에 대한 자세한 내용은 FoundryTechnology&Management에 발표된 기사를 참조하십시오.

FSR-05-14_moisture drying model [수분/습기 건조 모델]

Introduction
In the manufacture of paper it is necessary to remove all water from the paper before it is rolled up. The majority of water is typically removed by squeezing the paper between large rollers. The remaining moisture can be removed by forcing hot air through the paper to accelerate its evaporation.
Using heated air can be an expensive process so there is interest in investigating optimum arrangements for achieving the fastest and least expensive means of removing the residual water from paper. A prototype arrangement using heated air is shown in the following figure: (그림은 첨부파일 참조)

Both the paper and the fabric backing are porous materials. The support blocks may not be porous. It is expected that the permeability of the fabric and paper will be a function of their water content.
This report describes a software development that allows for a realistic treatment of the drying process in porous media such as that shown in Fig. 1. A description is given of the new model, which has been validated with available data. This data does not cover the entire range of moisture content or airflow rates that are typically encountered in practice. Consequently, it may be found necessary to make some small model adjustments. It is hoped that the formulation of the model, which is based on simple physical principles, will be easy to adjust to fit a larger range of observations.
Before describing the new model, a better perspective of its capabilities can be appreciated by noting some of the ways that it differs from previous work on paper drying. Most importantly, the new model considers the paper as having finite thickness and properties such as moisture content, temperature and vapor concentration that vary through the thickness. Thus, the paper may have dried on the upstream side, but still be completely wet on the opposite side. Another difference is that air and water vapor constitute a two-component gas that is compressible. Compressibility means, for
example, that the gas velocity in the paper must increase in the direction of flow because of the decrease in pressure through the paper (i.e., density and/or temperature must decrease by expansion to give a pressure decrease). Since flow velocity has an important effect on drying rate, compressibility can influence local drying conditions in the paper.

Finally, by computing transient conditions throughout the paper, this model could be used to investigate arbitrary non-uniform initial conditions or paper with a non-uniform thickness and/or porosity distribution.

Simulating the Residue left by Evaporating Drops

Background
The “coffee ring” effect is the name given to a well known observation where the evaporative drying of a drop of coffee leaves behind a ring of dark material at the edge of the original drop. On first thought one would expect that the coffee particles, which are uniformly distributed in the drop, would simply be deposited uniformly over the area wetted by the drop. It has only been in recent years that researchers have uncovered the mechanisms that produce the ring effect (Deegan, R.D., et al).
As currently understood, the edges of drops can become pinned because of roughness or chemical elements on the surface on which they lie. Heat transfer to the drops from the substrate or the air induces evaporation, which is usually greater near the drop edge. Surface tension forces then adjust the curvature of the remaining liquid consistent with the pinned edge, which results in a net flow of liquid toward the edge. This flow replenishes the evaporative loss but also moves solute to the edge where it is concentrated by evaporation. Eventually, this mechanism builds up a ring deposit of solute at the original edge of the drop.
The residue from dried drops has implications for many useful applications, including general coating processes, formation of pixel arrays of organic materials for video displays and for a variety of micro-electro-mechanical (MEMS) devices.
Because many factors control the distribution of dried residue it is desirable to have some means to model the fluid dynamics of the process to aid engineers in making the best choices for each specific application. Such a capability has been incorporated into FLOW-3D1 making it possible to computationally investigate the influence of such parameters as the initial solute concentration, fluid viscosity, volatility of the solvent, evaporation rate, surface tension and initial shape of the drop.
This technical note presents a brief description of the residue formation model and illustrates it with several computations of an evaporating drop subject to different physical conditions.

Electro-Hydrodynamics of Semi-Conductive Fluids With Application to Electro-Spraying

Background
It has long been known that strong electric fields can disrupt liquid surfaces. One particularly useful application of this observation has been the development of electrospray-ionization (ESI) systems.

The basic concept is to eject liquid from a nozzle connected to a voltage source that has a relatively high electric potential compared to its surroundings. When adjusted for certain operating conditions, a thin jet of liquid is ejected from the nozzle that subsequently breaks up into charged droplets having a relatively uniform size. There are many useful industrial applications for a system that produces small droplets of specified size; particularly if the droplets don’t coalesce because of their electrical repulsion.

Having a charge also means that these drops can be electrically deflected toward a target. This technology, for example, has been advantageously applied to paint spraying, atomization of fuels, printing, mass spectroscopy and a variety of spray drying processes.

Simulating the Wetting and Drying of Shallow Flows [얕은 흐름의 습윤 및 건조 시뮬레이션]

Introduction
Shallow flows, characterized by having a thickness much smaller than their lateral extent, can often be modeled by a depth-averaged (shallow-water or 2.5 dimensional) approximation.
Average fluid velocities are computed in the layer and the top fluid surface is free to move, which leads to a changing fluid-layer thickness. The advantages of this approach are its speed
and simplicity over full three-dimensional simulations.
One complication, however, is how to efficiently account for dynamic contact-line effects at lateral boundaries of the fluid. These boundaries are free to move over the underlying solid
surface. Furthermore, the fluid contact angle at these boundaries depends on the local dynamic flow conditions.
In this paper we present a new shallow-flow computational method based on the Volume-of-Fluid (VOF) technique, which conserves fluid mass, while allowing for general wetting and
drying behavior. Non-uniform surface tension and fluid-substrate interactions, defined by a static contact angle, are included in the model. No special prescriptions are needed to locate
contact line locations or define dynamic contact angles.

Contact Line Insights

FLOW-3D의 수치 모델링 기능은 코팅 성능 향상에 관심이 있는 엔지니어에게 이상적입니다. 계산 시뮬레이션은 코팅 흐름에 영향을 미치는 다양한 물리적 공정의 상대적 중요성과 효과를 연구하는 훌륭한 방법입니다. 물리적 테스트에서 프로세스를 분리하거나 해당 프로세스의 규모를 임의로 조정하는 것이 항상 가능한 것은 아닙니다. 이 섹션에서는 리 블릿 형성(rivulet formation), 핑거링(fingering), 증발, 거친 표면 위의 접촉선 이동 및 유체 흡수와 관련하여 FLOW-3D의 정적 및 동적 접촉각 처리에 대해 설명합니다.

Static and Dynamic Contact Angles

FLOW-3D는 입력으로 설정된 정적 접촉각의 함수로 동적 접촉각과 자유 표면 인터페이스에서 작용하는 관련 힘을 정확하게 계산하여 유체의 소수성을 캡처 할 수 있습니다. 아래 시뮬레이션은 물방울이 경사면 아래로 이동함에 따라 정적 접촉각이 동적 접촉각에 미치는 영향을 보여줍니다.

L.M. Hocking 박사는 그의 저서 [“A moving fluid interface on a rough surface,” J. Fluid Mech., 76, 801, (1976)]에서 표면에 미세한 요철이 흐름 구조를 유도하기 때문에 Contact line이 고체 표면을 통해 이동할 수 있으며 이는 거시적 관점에서 “velocity slip”로 해석 될 수 있다고 했습니다.

이 가설에 대한 전산 해석은 FLOW-3D를 이용하여 쉽게 수행됩니다. 선택된 테스트는 가로, 규칙적으로 이격 된 직사각형 슬롯 패턴 이차원 고체 표면 구성됩니다. 슬롯은 2mm 깊이 10mm 폭, 그리고 그들 사이 폭 10mm 고체 조각을 갖고 이격 됩니다. 이 크기는 전형적으로 상대적으로 부드러운 표면에 긁힌 모양입니다. 액체와 고체 사이의 정적인 접촉각이 60 °가 되도록 선택 하였습니다. 작동 유체는 물로 선정되었고 시험은 채널을 통해 속도30cm / s의 평균 물높이 15mm의 채널의 바닥에 있는 거친 표면을 두고 구동 이루어져 있습니다. 채널의 상단은 free-slip boundary로 정해집니다.

Hocking의 주장대로 micro-scale 교란이 Large scale 관점에서 보았을 때 계산된 속도장으로 보면 velocity slip의 한 종류로서 해석 될 수 있습니다. 아래는 계산된 수평 속도 분포를 나타내고 있습니다. 이것은 표면 바로 위에 제어 볼륨 층의 계산 된 수평 속도 분포를 제공하는 X-Y 플롯에 그래픽으로 보여 주고 있습니다. 격자 미세화에 의해 표면의 고체 부분의 윗쪽 속도가 영이 되는 경향이 있지만, 슬롯들 위에 있는 속도는 영이 안되게 유지됩니다. 많은 요철 위의 이러한 속도의 평균은 효과적인 슬립으로 해석 될 수 있는 non-zero 수평 이송 속도를 일으킵니다.

Evaporative Effects

분산된 고체 물질을 포함하는 액체 방울이 고체 표면에서 건조되면 고체 물질이 침전물로 남습니다. 이 퇴적물의 패턴은 많은 인쇄, 청소 및 코팅 공정에 중요한 의미를 갖습니다. 한 가지 유형의 침전물의 전형적인 예는 왼쪽 이미지와 같이 유출 된 커피 조각의 둘레를 따라 링 얼룩이 형성되는 “커피 링”문제입니다. 이러한 유형의 링 침전물은 액체의 증발로 인한 표면 장력 구동 흐름의 결과로 발생하며, 특히 방울 주변에서 발생합니다 [1].

Drying

건조는 코팅 공정의 중요한 부분입니다. 잘 도포된 코팅은 건조 결함으로 인해 완전히 손상될 수 있습니다. 건조 중에 온도 및 용질 구배는 밀도 및 표면 장력 구배로 인해 코팅 내 흐름을 유도 할 수 있으며, 이로 인해 잠재적으로 코팅 품질이 손상 될 수 있습니다. FLOW-3D의 증발 잔류물 모델을 통해 사용자는 건조로 인한 흐름을 시뮬레이션하고 값 비싼 물리적 실험에 소요되는 시간을 줄일 수 있습니다.

Modeling Ring Formation

FLOW-3D는 증발이 가장 큰 접촉 라인에서의 증착으로 인해 에지 고정이 발생 함을 보여줍니다.

링 형성 모델링
증발에 의해 접촉 라인에서 생성 된 흐름 시뮬레이션
증발은 증발로 인한 열 손실로 인해 액체를 냉각시킵니다 (색상은 온도를 나타냄). 동시에 고체 표면은 전도에 의해 액체를 가열합니다. 증발은 접촉 라인 근처에서 가장 크므로 액체가 접촉 라인을 향해 흐르게하여 정적 상태를 다시 설정합니다. 최종 결과는 액체가 완전히 증발하는 액체 가장자리에 부유 고체가 증착됩니다.

Real-World Validations

실제 산업현장에서의 검증

FLOW-3D 의 고객들은 끊임없이 자신의 설계 및 제조 공정을 개선하기 위하여 시뮬레이션을 사용한 결과와 실제를 비교 검증을 하고 있습니다.

Ladle Pour Simulation

Shot sleeve 공정을 최적화하는 것은 제품 품질을 보장하는 데 매우 중요합니다. FLOW-3D의 시뮬레이션 결과와 실제 사례 간의 비교는 시뮬레이션을 사용하여 엔지니어가 고가의 금형을 제조하기 전에 디자인을 향상시킬 수 있는 방법을 강조합니다. FLOW-3D의 GMO 기능을 이용하여 사용자는 전체 공정을 따라 실제 ladle로부터 fast shot까지 유체의 움직임을 정확하게 포착 할 수 있습니다. Simulation courtesy of Mr. Antoni Drys from Nemak Poland Sp. z o.o

Core Making

FLOW-3D의 모델링 기능은 쉽게 주조 엔지니어로 하여금 core shooting과 core drying 등과 같은 core 생성공정을 시뮬레이션 할 수 있게 합니다.

Core Shooting

Sand core는 주형에 모래와 공기 혼합물을 불어 넣음으로써 제조됩니다. 주조 엔지니어의 목적은 모래 안의 공기 갇힘을 방지하고, 우수한 안정성을 가진 코어를 만들기 위해서 충분한 packing을 가지는 균질한 모래 분포를 달성하는 것입니다. FLOW-3D의 모델링 기능은 사용자가 공기 탈출을 통해서 venting nozzle 의 개수와 위치를 변경함으로써 취입되고,이를 통해 최적의 노즐 구성을 얻을 수 있게 합니다.

Core Drying

Core drying 모델은 core die에 모래가 취입 된 후 남아 있는 수분의 과도 건조(transient drying ) 해석을 수행합니다. 일반적으로, 건조 과정은 코어를 통해 뜨거운 공기를 다이에 불어 넣음으로써 수행됩니다. 가열 시뮬레이션 하는 동안 수분 증발과 코어의 차가운 부분에서의 수분의 임시 응축 등은 건조 공정을 최적화 하는 데 이용됩니다. 이는 가열과 공기의 송풍과 연관되어 에너지 비용을 최소화 하면서 완전한 건조를 보장합니다.
