Modeling and numerical studies of selective laser melting: Multiphase flow, solidification and heat transfer

A multiphase and multi-physics model is developed for the selective laser melting process, where fluid flow, solidification, and heat transfer are included. The discrete-element and volume-of-fluid methods are applied to generate the powder bed and capture the free surface of the melts, respectively...
