“…The SPH method has proven to be a useful and suitable method for modeling the shape and displacement rate of complex fluid flows during casting [2,5,7,15,17,33,34,[61][62][63][64][65][67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75][76][77][78][79]. When discussing the application of the SPH method in casting simulation research, articles often refer to specific topics such as high pressure die casting [5,33,34,62,64,67], ingot casting [7], continuous casting [17], low pressure die casting [61], gravity casting [63,74], casting complex-shaped objects [69].…”

Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) is a Lagrangian formula-based non-grid computational method for simulating fluid flows, solid deformation, and fluid structured systems. SPH is a method widely applied in many fields of science and engineering, especially in the field of materials science. It solves complex physical deformation and flow problems. This paper provides a basic overview of the application of the SPH method in metal processing. This is a very useful simulation method for reconstructing flow patterns, solidification, and predicting defects, limitations, or material destruction that occur during deformation. The main purpose of this review article is to give readers better understanding of the SPH method and show its strengths and weaknesses. Studying and promoting the advantages and overcoming the shortcomings of the SPH method will help making great strides in simulation modeling techniques. It can be effectively applied in training as well as for industrial purposes.

“…This Lagrangian method has demonstrated its ability to simulate different physical problems involving large material deformation and mold filling encountered in highpressure die casting [23][24][25], low-pressure vacuum molding [26], and gravity permanent mold casting [27,28], metal forging [29], additive manufacturing [30][31][32][33], cold spray [34,35], thermal spray [36,37], machining [38,39], as well as in high-pressure plastic [40][41][42] or composite injection molding [43]. Despite its promising range of applications, SPH still suffers from key issues that need to be addressed in order to improve its readiness level in order to facilitate its percolation towards other industrial applications.…”

The present work aims to explore the ability to simulate flow patterns and the velocity field in the powder injection molding (PIM) process using the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method. Numerical simulations were performed using the DualSPHysics platform. A feedstock formulated from 17-4 PH stainless steel powder (60 vol. % of powder) and a wax-based binder system was prepared to experimentally obtain its rheological properties that were implemented in DualSPHysics using two different viscosity models. The numerical simulations were calibrated, and then validated with real-scale injections using a laboratory injection press. During the calibration step, the feedstock flow momentum equation in the DualSPHysics code was modified and boundary friction coefficients at different injection rates were adjusted to create a frictional effect. During the validation step, these calibrated conditions were used to simulate the flow behavior into a more complex shape, which was compared with experimental measurements. Using an appropriate boundary friction factor, both the frictional effect of the boundaries and the stability of the numerical solution were taken into account to successfully demonstrate the ability of this meshless SPH method. The flow front length and feedstock velocity obtained in a complex cavity were satisfactorily predicted with relative differences of less than 15%.
