Numerical simulation, combined with experimental
investigation, is therefore a key tool for understanding the crystallisation process, and optimizing it.
The purpose of the present work is to present an experimental furnace for directional crystallisation of silicon, and its analysis by means of numerical simulation.
The thermal field has been computed by a CFD tool, taking into account important phenomena such as radiation and convection in the melt.
Numerical simulation, combined with experimental investigation, is therefore a key tool for analysing the cooling procedure, and optimizing the casting process [1-3].
The mesh used in the simulation is shown in Figure 1(a) [4].

Numerical Simulation
4.1 Model and Boundary Conditions
In order to facilitate simulation analysis and calculation, we have simplified CPU chip for using a constant heat source to substitute for it.
The two-dimensional model established on the CFD software is shown in Figure 1.
Conclusion In the numerical simulation, surface monitor is lies on the top of chip to record the temperature shift.
Compared numerical simulation of the CPU surface temperature with experimental results, although there are differences between these two, the trend is same, which also verify the correctness of the experimental test results.
The main cause of the different between numerical simulation and experimental results is model error.

General numerical solvers such as FEM and CFD can be used in most situations, but may suffer from solving difficulties with some problems, which are conventionally called numerical noisy. [10] Thus, the numerical noisy is a shortcoming for MDF because the strategy largely depends on the MDA.
Comparison of optimization procedures on the MDF, MDF-RSM and MDF-update-RSM Optimization procedure Search strategy of design space iteration result (x1,x2,f) Precise on result (1,1,0) outer inner MDF NLPQL 57 —— 0.988,0.976, 0.000152 0.015% MDF-RSM NLPQL —— 17 -0.0150,2.647, 6052.970 Not converge MDF-update-RSM NLPQL 8 96 0.977, 0.952, 0.000560 0.056% In addition, it is worth mentioning that the quadric approximate function is smooth up to avoid the numerical noise for engineering problem involving the numerical simulation.
Consequently, facing the numerical simulation used by FEM and CFD, the MDF-update-RSM can gain better result than the MDF procedure.
Consequently, the MDA uses the loosely coupling method in the FEM in which the aerodynamics and temperature will be boundary condition on the pressure and suction of blade interpolated from the CFD result.

Abstract.
Numerical simulation provides a reliable method to optimize the design of the die, the choice of metallic material for the die, and the operating conditions of the polymer pelletizing under water.
In recent years, a considerable amount of progress has been made in the analysis and simulations of polymer flow for non-Newtonian fluids undergoing solidification, in order to optimize the process and improve the product quality.
In this work, the temperatures, velocity distributions and phase changes for dies with different temperatures of the inlet polymer and the cooling water, and different convection heat transfer coefficients of the thermal oil were obtained by numerical simulation with the CFD software, Fluent.
Governing equations Figure 2 Heat transfer in the die Simulations of the heat transfer in the die shown in Figure 2 are described.

Thermal modeling based on FEA-CFD is carried out by using ANSYS and FLUENT.
The simulation results demonstrate that the innovative tooling design concept can effectively reduce tool temperature away from the extremely high temperature and sensing the cutting temperature at tool tip.
Different mechanical load conditions have been analysed using the simulation software ANSYS to size and optimise the cutting insert.
The simulations showed that a thickness of 1mm of the insert and a wall thickness 0.7mm towards the flank face are sufficient to withstand the moderate mechanical loads.
The simulation parameters used are listed in Table 1.
