APPLICATION OF THE FLOW 3-D SOFTWARE FOR SIMULATION OF THE SPHEROIDAL IRON CASTING AND SOLIDIFICATION. PART 2

Abstract

A simulation analysis was carried out on the casting and solidification of EN-GJS-400-15 spheroidal iron for production of soft-sealed wedge gates for PE pipe gas networks. The analysis was made in the Flow-3D software. Based on the engineering documentation provided by Fabryka Armatur JAFAR SA spatial bodies were developed and analysed by simulation of the casting and solidification processes of wedge gates in three sizes: DN50, DN100 and DN150. Part I of the work [2] presents the simulation analysis for the DN150 gate; this section of the work, i.e. Part II, the simulation applies to the DN50 gate.
