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.
Cold Box Curing, Gas and Air Progress Inside Tool
This video shows how a mixture of gas and air progresses inside a core box, as the sand has contact with gas, air, cured sand, in this instance cured sand is shown as transparent dark grey.
Example Outputs, Arena-flow Inorganic Curing Module
This video demonstrates the four outputs from the in-organic curing module in Arena-flow.
Core Blowing and Related Core Density
This video shows a comparison between two iterations of core layouts.
Bubbles Flowing in Liquid Column

Modeling Coke Distribution above the Freeboard of a FLUID COKING Reactor
In a FLUID COKING unit, reactor cyclone fouling by coke deposits can set the run length of the unit. It was found that the CFD model could quantitatively predict coke distributions in the freeboard region of a FLUID COKING reactor experimental rig, while providing insight into the flow dynamics.
