1 of 11 A Microsegregation Model – Vaughan Voller, University of Minnesota Process REV representative ½ arm space solid g ~ 50 mm ~5 mm ~0.5 m sub-grid model Computational grid size column floor building
2 of 11 Solidification Modeling Process REV representative ½ arm space solid g ~ 50 mm ~5 mm ~0.5 m sub-grid model Computational grid size from computation Of these values need to extract -- -- --
A C 3 of 11 Primary Solidification Solver g Transient mass balance g model of micro-segregation Iterative loop Cl T (will need under-relaxation) equilibrium
Micro-segregation Model 4 of 11 liquid concentration due to macro-segregation alone new solid forms with lever rule on concentration transient mass balance gives liquid concentration Solute mass density after solidification Solute mass density before solidification q -– back-diffusion Solute mass density of new solid (lever) (1/s) Need an easy to use approximation For back-diffusion
5 of 11 Ohnaka The parameter Model --- Clyne and Kurz, parabolic growth solidification time m = 2.33 Coarsening Voller and Beckermann suggest
6 of 11 The Profile Model Wang and Beckermann solidification time parabolic growth proposed modification NOTE steeper profile at low liquid fraction Need to lag calculation one time step and ensure q >0 Coarsening Voller and Beckermann suggest
7 of 11 Constant Cooling of Binary-Eutectic Alloy With Initial Concentration C0 = 1 and Eutectic Concentration Ceut = 5, No Macro segregation , k= 0.1 Use 200 time steps and equally increment 1 < C < 5 Calculating the transient value of g from Remaining Liquid when C =5 is Eutectic Fraction Parameter or Profile Coarsening No Coarsening
8 of 11 Parabolic solid growth – No Second Phase Use 10,000 time steps and set g = t1/2 at each step C0 = 1, k = 0.13, a = 0.4 Use To calculate segregation ratio
