Abstract Scope |
Scaling analysis applied to transport phenomena conservation equations is a useful tool for finding functional relationships among physical mechanisms and to estimate the order-of-magnitude of the terms in those equations. Because these terms represent different phenomena, scaling provides a physically sound rationale for neglecting certain terms to make simplifying assumptions. Here I review the basic methodology and show examples from the solidification processing literature, including analyses of heat transfer, liquid flow in melt pools and mushy zones, and segregation. These and many other results demonstrate that the proper use of this approximate technique can produce fundamental insights into the behavior of casting processes and improve intuition for evaluating results of more detailed analyses. |
