A sensitivity analysis is performed to examine the mold-metal heat transfer coefficient, mold thermal conductivity, wall friction factor, pouring basin pour temperature, and pouring basin head pressure through doing coupled flow simulations on thin-walled castings using the commercial casting simulation software, MAGMASOFT. A verification exercise is done to match simulation with reality with the knowledge that mold-metal heat transfer coefficient and mold thermal conductivity are the most influential parameters of the five. Validation on a real production casting is performed using the tuned parameters from the verification exercise." 2002-12-23T08:00:00Z text application/pdf https://digitalcommons.wpi.edu/etd-theses/1146 https://digitalcommons.wpi.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=2145&context=etd-theses Masters Theses (All Theses, All Years) Digital WPI Makhlouf M.
