Abstract: Computer process models have been used in the foundry industry for many years. They are widely used by all types of foundries, from jobber shops to high-volume casting producers. During recent years, the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) industry has turned its attention to creating process models for the core blowing operation and the new set of mathematical, physical and engineering problems have to be solved numerically. This paper describes the work that has gone into validating a math-based tool, and the practical application of the math-based tool to the core-making process.
