从以往的研究中,已经得知在浇注系统控制良好下,铸件的质量可以进行控制。

什么是弗劳德数(Froude Number)?
弗劳德数是流体质点加速度产生的作用力,以及重力形成的作用力比值的指标。

Froude Number 可以用来判断流体卷气的程度。当 Froude Number > 1.7 时,流体就会卷气,当 Froude Number 在 4~12 之间时,流体会呈现高度卷气。

结果
运用统计分析的方式

ANOVA (Analysis of Variance)
• Both in-gate and sump height shown to be significant :
• In-gate P-Value : 0.0001
• Sump height P-Value : 0.0033
Interactions
• Low level identified
Best Result
• Lowest sump and highest in-gate
Worst Result
• Biggest sump and shortest in-gate

最佳设计 - 125mm Sump (Smallest Sump) and 100mm In-Gate (Largest)


Placeholder image

最差设计 - 500mm Sump (Largest) and 25mm In-Gate (Smallest)


结论
 The design of a castings in-gate is of up most importance
• Short in-gates increase the persistence of the return wave
 The design of a sump is critical to its effectiveness
• Incorrect designs can be extremely detrimental to casting integrity
 Interaction is present between the sump and in-gate
• system must be designed as a whole

注:自 FLOW-3D V9.3 版之后,Froude Number 可在输出选项中选择输出(不再需要开发子程序)
