Numerical investigation of surface ripple formation in pulsed direct current gas tungsten arc welding
This study investigates the dynamic interactions between the arc and molten pool during pulsed direct current electrode positive (DCEP) gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), with a focus on post-solidification surface roughness. A transient two-dimensional multiphysics model is developed to simulate fluid flow, heat transfer, and solute transport under a pulsed heat source. The model incorporates thermocapillary, solute-capillary, and electrocapillary forces, along with Lorentz forces induced by the transient electromagnetic field. Using COMSOL Multiphysics 6.0, the evolution of velocity, pressure, temperature, concentration, and electromagnetic distributions within the molten pool is analyzed. Results reveal that thermocapillary force dominates surface roughness formation, with solute-capillary effects contributing locally, while electrocapillary influence is negligible. Periodic variations in current induce corresponding surface flows and ripple structures, particularly at the rear of the molten pool. The predictions align well with both numerical simulations and experimental observations. The modeling framework and insights presented here are applicable to process control and quality optimization in arc welding, laser welding, and additive manufacturing.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Thermal Sciences is a journal devoted to the publication of fundamental studies on the physics of transfer processes in general, with an emphasis on thermal aspects and also applied research on various processes, energy systems and the environment. Articles are published in English and French, and are subject to peer review.
The fundamental subjects considered within the scope of the journal are:
* Heat and relevant mass transfer at all scales (nano, micro and macro) and in all types of material (heterogeneous, composites, biological,...) and fluid flow
* Forced, natural or mixed convection in reactive or non-reactive media
* Single or multi–phase fluid flow with or without phase change
* Near–and far–field radiative heat transfer
* Combined modes of heat transfer in complex systems (for example, plasmas, biological, geological,...)
* Multiscale modelling
The applied research topics include:
* Heat exchangers, heat pipes, cooling processes
* Transport phenomena taking place in industrial processes (chemical, food and agricultural, metallurgical, space and aeronautical, automobile industries)
* Nano–and micro–technology for energy, space, biosystems and devices
* Heat transport analysis in advanced systems
* Impact of energy–related processes on environment, and emerging energy systems
The study of thermophysical properties of materials and fluids, thermal measurement techniques, inverse methods, and the developments of experimental methods are within the scope of the International Journal of Thermal Sciences which also covers the modelling, and numerical methods applied to thermal transfer.
