Abstract
The bubble evolution in the liquid titanium melt under vertical centrifugal field has been studied by the hydraulic experiment simulation. The bubble migration process in the simple and complex cavities, the bubble morphology, bubble dimensional size diversification under different mould rotational speed has been investigated. The results show that the mould wall has a blocking effect on the bubble migration. The bubble migration in the simple cavity deviates from the line between the bubble initial position and the rotation shaft of the casting mould. Also, the bubbles in the complex cavity gather, re-nucleate and form new big ones for the blocking effect of the complex geometry shape on the radial movement of the bubble. The shape of bubbles in both the simple and complex cavity during the migration process is not a perfect sphere, but an elliptical shape. The critical size of bubble released from the bubble generation chamber decreases with the increment of the mould rotational speed. The diameter of the gas bubbles in the simple cavity during the migration process become bigger and bigger for the pressure difference at different positions of the cavity in the vertical centrifugal field.
期刊介绍:
Engineering Review is an international journal designed to foster the exchange of ideas and transfer of knowledge between scientists and engineers involved in various engineering sciences that deal with investigations related to design, materials, technology, maintenance and manufacturing processes. It is not limited to the specific details of science and engineering but is instead devoted to a very wide range of subfields in the engineering sciences. It provides an appropriate resort for publishing the papers covering prior applications – based on the research topics comprising the entire engineering spectrum. Topics of particular interest thus include: mechanical engineering, naval architecture and marine engineering, fundamental engineering sciences, electrical engineering, computer sciences and civil engineering. Manuscripts addressing other issues may also be considered if they relate to engineering oriented subjects. The contributions, which may be analytical, numerical or experimental, should be of significance to the progress of mentioned topics. Papers that are merely illustrations of established principles or procedures generally will not be accepted. Occasionally, the magazine is ready to publish high-quality-selected papers from the conference after being renovated, expanded and written in accordance with the rules of the magazine. The high standard of excellence for any of published papers will be ensured by peer-review procedure. The journal takes into consideration only original scientific papers.
