This FLOW-3D CAST simulation shows a comparison of the filling in the region where the air vent was added compared with the original result. The filling is now more complete in the region where the air vent was added. More vents can be easily added to address other underfilled regions.

In this FLOW-3D CAST simulation, an intake manifold sand core shot with a sand/binder mixture containing 2% water by weight is dried by a hot (180 C) air purge. The blue region represents the water remaining in the sand core. The air vents are shown in gray. After 150 seconds of drying, the moisture continues to be pushed to the area where the most venting.

This FLOW-3D CAST simulation shows the evolution of amine gas through the porous, shot sand core, which is a water jacket for an internal combustion engine. Learn more about FLOW-3D CAST‘s Sand Core Making Workspace at https://www.flow3d.com/products/flow-3d-cast/sand-core-making-workspace/

This video shows the filling pattern of H32 sand with a 2% binder additive being shot to produce an water jacket sand core. Notice that some of the regions are underfilled.

Sand cores shot in a hot box process are hardened using energy from the core box to cure the binder. This video shows the temperature distribution in the sand core as it is heated by the hot core box.
