INFinity - ANR Industrial Chair
An innovative multiscale numerical framework to design industrial quenching process safely
An innovative multiscale numerical framework to design industrial quenching process safely
Project Summary
The INFINITY chair contributes then to a long-term vision of high fidelity numerical tool as a basis for reliable simulations of quenching processes allowing the partners to remove several major technical barriers, to faster aid to decision for delivering high quality parts while minimizing residual stresses, preventing cracking and thus optimizing heat processes.
Challenges
Modeling the liquid-to-vapor phase change, predicting different boiling modes with the transition between them and modeling the fluid-solid-heat coupling with solid phase transformation are mainly aimed.
Software
Through the INFINITY chair, the involved researchers propose to consolidate a novel unified multiscale framework and to integrate and capitalize it in the finite element software THOST®.
