Full Magazine Simulation, Pressure and Sand Ratio
This video demonstrates the air-sand motion computed by Arena-flow for a magazine used to fill multiple sand cores. As the magazine pressurizes, the air drags sand into the core.
Shell Sand, Thin-Walled Jacket Core
This video shows the cope and drag views of a thin-walled jacket core made using the shell sand / warm box module of Arena-flow.
Cold Box Core Blowing, Cylinder Head Water Jacket
Arena-flow by CPFD Software simulates the blowing of industrial sand cores, and this video highlights a cold box core scenario of a cylinder head water jacket.
Three Foundry Case Studies on Simulation Software
Fondrémy Inc., in collaboration with LAEMPE REICH, used Arena-flow to improve casting quality and reduce tooling costs for a complex water pump housing. By simulating sand core shooting and gassing, the team minimized prototyping, accelerated production, and transitioned to a high-yield, vertically poured molding process.
Study on the gas-solid flow and reaction characteristics of oxy-fuel co-firing of coal and biomass in a pressurized fluidized bed by 3D Eulerian-Lagrangian modelling
In this study, a 3D Eulerian-Lagrangian model based on the MP-PIC scheme was further developed, and was validated through our continuously running 10 kWth POFB tests. The effects of the combustion pressure (P) on gas–solid flow and reaction characteristics were analysed.
Operating Ranges of Coupled–Decoupled Counter-current Downer and Riser Reactors
Barracuda simulations, validated against literature experiments, were used to develop a simulation strategy for counter-current downers and evaluate a coupled riser–counter-current downer system, showing improved solids distribution and high solids holdup for enhanced gas–solid contact beyond the flooding point.
Vertical Blowing of a Greensand Mold
This video demonstrates the blowing of a green sand mold half on a vertical molding line. The sand initially enters at a higher velocity before slowing down as the mold fills.
Core Blowing and Related Core Density
This video shows a comparison between two iterations of core layouts.
Sand Filling and Airflow in Jacket Core
This Arena-flow simulation visualizes the sand-core filling process for a Jacket Core using the Shell Module.
Sand Speed, Density, and Pressure Dynamics in Jacket Core
This Arena-flow simulation models a Jacket Core using the Shell Module, focusing on sand velocity, bulk density, cavity pressure, and fill-time behavior during the core blowing process.
