A recent three-dimensional (3D) model that revisited earlier theoretical work for longitudinal electromagnetic stirring in the continuous casting of steel blooms is analyzed further to explore how the bloom width interacts ...

Although two-dimensional (2D) parabolic integro-differential equations (PIDEs) arise in many physical contexts, there is no generally available software that is able to solve the numerically. To remedy this situation, ...

In the field of geophysics, it has long been accepted that the bodies of igneous rock, known as intrusions, that are often found at shallow levels of the Earth’s continental crust are a result of the solidification of ...

Polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs) are versatile electrochemical devices that convert the chemical energy of a fuel, such as hydrogen, and an oxidant, such as air-derived oxygen, directly into electricity, both cleanly ...

This paper investigates the critical plunger velocity in high-pressure die casting during the slow phase of the piston motion and how it can be determined with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in open source software. ...

This paper uses computational fluid dynamics (CFD), in the form of the OpenFOAM software package, to investigate the forces on the salt core in high-pressure die casting (HPDC) when being exposed to the impact of the ...

Asymptotic methods are employed to revisit an earlier model for oscillation-mark formation in the continuous casting of steel. A systematic non-dimensionalization of the governing equations, which was not carried out ...

In this paper, earlier dissolutive wetting models describing the dynamics of an axisymmetric alloy drop spreading on pure metal substrate are extended to describe reactive wetting and subsequent joint formation in brazing ...

The problem of fast viscous steady Rayleigh-Bénard convection in a rectangular enclosure is revisited using asymptotic and numerical methods. There are two generic cases: in the first, there is zero shear stress at all ...
