Project Engineering GmBH Case Study | FLOW-3D CAST @flow3d

Uploaded April 2025 | Updated September 2026, 1 week ago

Long-time FLOW-3D CAST customer Project Engineering GmbH optimized the casting system of an oil pan cover while reducing costs for their end customer. With FLOW-3D CAST, the runner, ingate and venting systems have been optimized for both efficiency and quality. This video shows the entrained air rate comparison between the base design and the final proposal. First phase of filling was shortened, splashes were reduced, and air evacuation was improved. This reduced cycle time and minimized the risk of gas porosities. Read the full case study at flow3d.com/hpdc-system-optimization-and-cost-reduction

$Air Entrainment at a Labyrinth Spillway | FLOW-3D HYDRO This example of a labyrinth weir spillway illustrates FLOW-3D HYDROs air entrainment physics in a one-fluid volume of fluid model. The air entrainment physics estimate the rate at which gas (represented by void regions) is entrained into the flow using a balance of stabilizing forces (gravity and surface tension) and destabilizing forces (turbulence). Although the primary focus of the model is to compute the air entrainment resulting from turbulent disturbances at a free surface, the model also contains logic for handling entrainment resulting from laminar jets impinging on a free surface. In this video, the fluid is colored by the entrained air volume fraction calculated by the air entrainment physics.
