The thermocapillary flow effects on a free surface deformation during solidificationChan, Cheng-Yu 28 July 2010 (has links)
This study uses the Phase-field method to simulate the transient thermal current of the metal surface heated and molten by a massing energy. The flow field uses a two-dimension module, considered with the mass conservation equation, momentum equation, energy equation and level-set equation, to solve for the distribution in whole domain, including
the interface, of temperature, velocity, pressure and level-set number. We ignore the effect of concentration diffusion, but consider about the effect
of heat translation on the flow field. Finally the results will display the flows of air around molten area forced by buoyancy which is caused by high temperature, and the flows in molten area forced by thermocapillary
which is caused by temperature gradient.

Análise crítica da modelagem matemática do primeiro estágio da sinterização. / Critical analysis of the mathematical modeling from the first stage of sintering.Guimarães, Nara Miranda 22 November 2018 (has links)
A sinterização do cobre ocorre através do transporte difusivo de matéria de regiões de alto para as de baixo potencial químico. Esse processo tem como força motriz a minimização da energia associada às interfaces. Na tentativa de quantificar o processo de sinterizaçao, diversos modelos analíticos foram desenvolvidos desde 1945. O presente trabalho teve como intuito implementar e validar um modelo matemático baseado no modelo de campo de fases (\"phase field method\") para simular o primeiro estágio do processo de sinterização. Para isso, um estudo termodinâmico detalhado foi realizado de modo a definir as equações a serem empregadas no modelo. Foi feita uma análise quantitativa (análise estatística) e qualitativamente (análise gráfica e pelo expoente do tempo) dos modelos analíticos teóricos comparando-os com os valores experimentais publicados em cinco artigos de grande relevância na área. A partir dos resultados estatísticos observou-se que o melhor mecanismo para descrever o processo de sinterização do cobre é o modelo combinado entre quatro dos seis principais modelos individuais. Os mecanismos de transporte de fase fictícia via evaporação-condensação e via difusão gasosa contribuem de maneira irrisória na sinterização do cobre, sendo por muitos autores desconsiderados. Foi verificado que a configuração inicial do metal, se na forma de esferas ou cilindros, modifica o processo de difusão dominante. Sendo que o efeito da difusão superficial é mais predominante nas esferas do que nos cilindros, consequentemente, o mecanismo combinado para a esferas inclui a difusão superficial, enquanto que o dos cilindros não. Na simulação em condições unidimensionais, o modelo foi capaz de impor as condições de equilíbrio termodinâmico local e de movimentar a interface no sentido contrário ao fluxo de lacunas. Sob condições bidimensionais, o mesmo impôs automaticamente a fração de lacunas de equilíbrio sob o efeito do raio de curvatura, responsável pela expansão ou retração do sólido/poro cilíndrico. Na simulação da formação do pescoço entre dois cilindros de cobre puro, observou-se um comportamento qualitativo consistente com o comportamento físico. A principal dificuldade encontrada na modelagem foi o tamanho da malha e o tempo de processamento computacional necessário. Para resolução destes dois aspectos, usou-se uma malha adaptativa e foi feita a paralelização em placa de vídeo do código computacional. / Copper sintering occurs through a diffusive transport of matter from regions with high chemical potential to regions of low chemical potential. The driving force of this process is the minimization of the energy associated with the interfaces of the system. In an attempt to quantify the sintering process, several analytical models have been developed since 1945. The aim of the present work was to implement and validate a mathematical model based on the phase field model to simulate the first stage of sintering. A very detailed thermodynamic study was done in order to define which equations should me used in the computational model. As well as, the use of a quantitative (statistical analysis) and a qualitative analysis (graphical analysis and by the exponent of time) to compare the theoretical models with the experimental values published in five articles of great relevance in the area. From the statistical results it was observed that the best mechanism to describe the copper sintering is the combined model between the main individual models (lattice diffusion from surface, lattice diffusion from grain boundary, surface diffusion and grain boundary diffusion). The mechanisms of gas-phase transport via evaporation-condensation and gas diffusion contribute in a negligible way in copper sintering, considered irrelevant by many authors . It has been found that the initial configuration of the metal, whether in the form of spheres or cylinders, modifies the dominant diffusion mechanism. Since the effect of surface diffusion is more predominant in the spheres than in the cylinders, therefore the combined mechanism for the spheres includes surface diffusion, while the cylinders do not. With the computational modeling, some important mechanisms that occur during stage I of sintering were simulated. Simulations performed under unidimensional conditions indicated that the model is able to impose local thermodynamic equilibrium conditions and to move the interface in the opposite direction of the vacancies flow. When used to simulate the transport of vacancies under two-dimensional conditions, the model automatically imposed the fraction of equilibrium vacancies under the effect of the radius of curvature. This fraction results in a flow that causes the expansion or retraction of the solid / cylindrical pore, which was reproduced by the implemented model. The main difficulties found in the computational modeling were the size of the mesh and the computational processing time required. To solve these two aspects, an adaptive mesh was used and the parallelization of the computational code was done, which resulted in a significant reduction in the simulation time.

Martensitic Transformations in Steels : A 3D Phase-field StudyYeddu, Hemantha Kumar January 2012 (has links)
Martensite is considered to be the backbone of the high strength of many commercial steels. Martensite is formed by a rapid diffusionless phase transformation, which has been the subject of extensive research studies for more than a century. Despite such extensive studies, martensitic transformation is still considered to be intriguing due to its complex nature. Phase-field method, a computational technique used to simulate phase transformations, could be an aid in understanding the transformation. Moreover, due to the growing interest in the field of “Integrated computational materials engineering (ICME)”, the possibilities to couple the phase-field method with other computational techniques need to be explored. In the present work a three dimensional elastoplastic phase-field model, based on the works of Khachaturyan et al. and Yamanaka et al., is developed to study the athermal and the stress-assisted martensitic transformations occurring in single crystal and polycrystalline steels. The material parameters corresponding to the carbon steels and stainless steels are considered as input data for the simulations. The input data for the simulations is acquired from computational as well as from experimental works. Thus an attempt is made to create a multi-length scale model by coupling the ab-initio method, phase-field method, CALPHAD method, as well as experimental works. The model is used to simulate the microstructure evolution as well as to study various physical concepts associated with the martensitic transformation. The simulation results depict several experimentally observed aspects associated with the martensitic transformation, such as twinned microstructure and autocatalysis. The results indicate that plastic deformation and autocatalysis play a significant role in the martensitic microstructure evolution. The results indicate that the phase-field simulations can be used as tools to study some of the physical concepts associated with martensitic transformation, e.g. embryo potency, driving forces, plastic deformation as well as some aspects of crystallography. The results obtained are in agreement with the experimental results. The effect of stress-states on the stress-assisted martensitic microstructure evolution is studied by performing different simulations under different loading conditions. The results indicate that the microstructure is significantly affected by the loading conditions. The simulations are also used to study several important aspects, such as TRIP effect and Magee effect. The model is also used to predict some of the practically important parameters such as Ms temperature as well as the volume fraction of martensite formed. The results also indicate that it is feasible to build physically based multi-length scale model to study the martensitic transformation. Finally, it is concluded that the phase-field method can be used as a qualitative aid in understanding the complex, yet intriguing, martensitic transformations. / QC 20120525 / Hero-m

Phase change with stress effects and flowMalik, Amer January 2013 (has links)
In this thesis two kinds of phase change i.e., solid state phase transformation in steels and solid-to-liquid phase transformation in paraffin, have been modeled and numerically simulated. The solid state phase transformation is modeled using the phase field theory while the solid-to-liquid phase transformation is modeled using the Stokes equation and exploiting the viscous nature of the paraffin, by treating it as a liquid in both states.The theoretical base of the solid state, diffusionless phase transformation or the martensitic transformation comes from the Khachaturyan's phase field microelasticity theory. The time evolution of the variable describing the phase transformation is computed using the time dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation. Plasticity is also incorporated into the model by solving another time dependent equation. Simulations are performed both in 2D and 3D, for a single crystal and a polycrystal. Although the model is valid for most iron-carbon alloys, in this research an Fe-0.3\%C alloy is chosen.In order to simulate martensitic transformation in a polycrystal, it is necessary to include the effect of the grain boundary to correctly capture the morphology of the microstructure. One of the important achievements of this research is the incorporation of the grain boundary effect in the Khachaturyan's phase field model. The developed model is also employed to analyze the effect of external stresses on the martensitic transformation, both in 2D and 3D. Results obtained from the numerical simulations show good qualitative agreement with the empirical observations found in the literature.The microactuators are generally used as a micropump or microvalve in various miniaturized industrial and engineering applications. The phase transformation in a paraffin based thermohydraulic membrane microactuator is modeled by treating paraffin as a highly viscous liquid, instead of a solid, below its melting point. The fluid-solid interaction between paraffin and the enclosing membrane is governed by the ALE technique. The thing which sets apart the presented model from the previous models, is the use of geometry independent and realistic thermal and mechanical properties. Numerical results obtained by treating paraffin as a liquid in both states show better conformity with the experiments, performed on a similar microactuator. The developed model is further employed to analyze the time response of the system, for different input powers and geometries of the microactuator. / <p>QC 20130219</p>

Thermal and fluid flow effects on bubble growth at a solidification frontWu, Ming-chang 30 August 2012 (has links)
The study applies the phase-field method to simulate the behavior between bubble and liquid-solid front in the solidification. During the process, the two-phase flow module is used to match up with temperature and phase-field function to determine the percentage of- solid, liquid, and gas- in the domain. The governing equations for mass, momentum and energy contain coefficients which are related to percentage of phases.The result show that the surface tension and the temperature difference will influence the shape of bubble and the velocity of solidification.
