The Finite Element Analysis of Axisymmetric Flow of Air through the Top Riser of Casting Utilizing Stream Function Model | Chapter 12 | Current Approaches in Science and Technology Research Vol. 14

Using the stream function model, this research examines air flow through the upper risers of casting. Casting is a technique for creating intricate structures out of metal. The filling process, which requires the use of a gating system, and the solidification phase, which requires the use of a riser, are the two steps of casting. During casting, molten metal rapidly displaces air in the mould cavity, necessitating a complete understanding of air flow behaviour as it exits the riser. The finite element approach and the stream function model were used to investigate the axisymmetric flow of air through the top risers of casting. According to the findings, the velocity profile at any cross section is parabolic in shape, with the maximum velocity in the centre. When compared to the exact solution, the finite element result converged towards the exact answer.
