In Laser Processing project, we have simulated the laser-induced selective melting of bi-material particles using ANSYS Fluent software. Three-dimensional modeling was performed using Design Modeler software with a computational domain of 1.0 × 0.5 × 0.4 mm dimensions. The meshing of the model was accomplished using ANSYS Fluent Meshing software, generating approximately 800,000 computational cells with refined regions around the particle bed. The transient simulation employs VOF multiphase model, Solidification and Melting model, and a User-Defined Function (UDF) implementing the moving Gaussian laser heat source with laminar flow characteristics.

In this project, the numerical investigation of a radiant solar collector is conducted utilizing ANSYS SpaceClaim software, inspired by advanced modeling techniques. The 3D geometry is meticulously crafted and meshed with 647,500 elements, emphasizing an unstructured grid and refinement near the tubes to enhance simulation accuracy. The RNG K-epsilon turbulence model serves as the foundation for simulating the flow field, while the solidification and melting module addresses the PCM zone characteristics. Momentum, turbulence, and energy equations are tackled using the SIMPLE algorithm with second-order upwind discretization for precision. The simulation focuses on fluid dynamics and heat transfer, crucial for understanding the collector's performance under variable environmental conditions, despite the exclusion of radiation effects.
