Numerical Analysis of Solid Particles Flow in Liquid Metal

The aim of the study was to determine the influence of the solid particles density and size on their distribution in the solidified cast. As part of the work, a series of numerical simulations of filling and solidification process were made with the use of FLOW-3D software. The analysis was performed on pure aluminum and six chosen types of particles with different size and density. Obtained results may help to understand the behavior of solid particles in liquid metals.
