Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling uses specific algorithms to create a simulation of physical processes on a virtual model and then provides detailed predictions of heat treating and quenching processes. CFD modeling can be used to verify the optimal type of heat treatment and quenchant, determine heating cycle, holding temperature and cooling cycle and validate the resulting metallurgical properties of the treated product. The difficulty in this process for the average user comes in having the knowledge of the the fundamental physics, transformation, thermodynamic and heat transfer processes associated with heat treating and quenching. To execute a CFD model requires a prior specification of all such details to close the math model and receive a valid results set. Once the model is established, CFD analysis enables the user to virtually view the process/product from various perspectives and apply different factors to test theories and improve efficiencies.
