Application of the Shape Sensitivity Analysis in Numerical Modelling of Solidification Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

The methods of sensitivity analysis allow to estimate the influence of parameters determining the geometrical, physical, boundary and initial conditions on the course of thermal processes in the system considered. In this paper the possibilities of shape sensitivity analysis application (SSA) in the thermal theory of foundry processes are discussed. In particular, the direct approach is presented because it seems that for practical applications this variant of sensitivity analysis is more effective. The theoretical base of SSA is presented in chapters 1 and 2, next the practical aspects of the method are discussed. In the final part of the paper the examples of computations can be found.
