Development and Validation of CFD Methodology to Simulate Water Quenching Process

A computer simulation methodology is developed to model the water quenching process for engine block and cylinder head. The methodology is based on the Eulerian-Eulerian two-fluid method implemented in existing commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software. Due to the complex physics involved in the phase change and mass transfer, one of the prime objectives is to search and evaluate CFD tools that are capable of modeling the water...
