Experimental study of vortex flow induced by a vortex well in sand casting

Fluid flow phenomena are very closely related to the casting quality and surface finish of the cast part. In addition, the good quality of the casting product can be achieved by using an optimum gating system design. In this work, a vortex well, which is one of the important components of gating sys...
