Computational Fluid Dynamics and its Application to Heat Treatment

The computational fluid dynamics(CFD) is a subject which finds the solution of a partial differential equation set describing fluid motion,heat transfer and matter transfer and simulates the processes of these physical phenomenons by means of modern computer technology.The application of computational fluid dynamics can lead to a great number of useful research achievements at less cost in a short time.At present,the application of CFD to the simulation of heat treatment process,such as liquid quenching,gas quenching,gas carburizing and so on,and the development of equipment is under researching in China and other countries.The research on CFD is to be in the direction of the improvement on simulation precision,the coupled simulation of temperature field,stress/strain field and so forth from now on.
