An Arc Code To Predict The Thermal Crack Of Welded Sample, Je-Ee Ho Aug 2012

An Arc Code To Predict The Thermal Crack Of Welded Sample, Je-Ee Ho

Journal of Marine Science and Technology

In this study, a numerical code with enthalpy method in upwind scheme is proposed to estimate the distribution of thermal stress in the molten pool, which is primarily determined by the type of the input power and travel speed of heating source. To predict the cracker deficit inside the workpiece, a simulated program satisfying the diagonal domination and Scarborough criterion provides a stable iteration. Meanwhile, an experimental performance, operated by robot arm “DR-400” to provide a steady and continuous arc welding, was also conducted to verify the simulated result. By surveying the consistence of molten pool bounded by contrast shade …


Developing A Convective Code With Vorticity Transport In Upwind Method, Je -Ee Ho Sep 2008

Developing A Convective Code With Vorticity Transport In Upwind Method, Je -Ee Ho

Journal of Marine Science and Technology

The Navier-Strokes equations are usually used to solve the convective problems, however, to satisfy the conversation of mass, the uncertainty of pressure terms will easily trigger off the numerical divergence during the iterative process; which results in a calculating failure and makes the numerical solutions impossible. In this study, a vorticity–transport method that avoids the involvement of pressure terms by cross differentiate the governing equations and meets the flow conservation with stream function was proposed. With the aid of the upwind scheme and implicit method, an effective transformation from the partial differential equations into the vortex potential algebraic equations would …
