Research Interests

The main thrust of my research is the mathematical and numerical modeling of macrosegregation and microsegregation during the solidification of multicomponent alloys. Macrosegregation phenomenon has been successfully described with standard set of conservation equations (mass, momentum, energy and compositions). Additional pressure drop due to the solidification usually describes with Darcy-law for pseudo porous media. Microsegregation phenomenon has been successfully described with different sets of equations, depending on phase that precipitates during the solidification process. Generic ternary phase diagram is described with equations that represent liquid's and solid's surface and binary troughs as well. Partition coefficient equations have been used in order to describe solid's surface. Mass ratio between phases for secondary and ternary solidification has been calculated using the well-known tie triangle rule. A limitation on predicting final material properties as a function of processing is the fact that the phenomena, which govern the final structure and properties, occur over a wide range of length scales, from the microscopic (micron to millimeter) to the macroscopic (millimeters to meters). We are interested in developing predictive capabilities to model the final multiscale structure of metal alloys during and after solidification. From a microscopic point of view, a solidification problem is one of understanding the growth of several solid phases from a liquid, which most often occurs, by the growth of microscopic dendritic structures. The morphology, the crystal structure, and the freezing/melting behavior of those dendrites and the mass diffusion fields around them have significant influence on the properties of the final cast part. These phenomena interact with the heat and mass transfer and fluid flow occurring at macroscopic length scales. A careful integration of predictive models that describe the multiscale development of microstructure and properties is necessary to advance the fundamental science of materials processing.

Research Activity

Over the past fifth ten years, I have studied:

- Modeling of two-phase flow (water-steam) in evaporator channels with couple of different mathematical models

- Phase change phenomena in ice water system using modify "enthalpy" method for describing energy balance equation

- Phase change phenomena during the solidification of two and three component alloys with special attention on Al-Cu-Mg alloy

During the undergraduate study and for graduate work I have developed different mathematical models for predicting heat and mass transfer in evaporator channels. The most simply model treat two phase mixture as homogenous, but it can be successfully used for calculating the pressure drop and temperature profiles in 1-D channels trough the time. Most advanced model of characteristics has been developed also, and it can be successfully used for predicting fast heat and mass transfer processes in evaporator channels. Those phenomena occur in many technical systems (stream generators, heat exchangers, and steam boilers) during the accident, which happens under the undesirable conditions.

During the Master degree study I made efforts to developing mathematical and numerical models for describing phase change phenomena in ice water system. Transport phenomena during the phase change in ice water system are important in many systems of latent energy storage, which is commonly used for energy saving in processes that demand low energy consumption. Mathematical model for describing phase changes phenomena in ice water that's developed treat problem as 2-D unsteady. An energy balance equation is written with enthalpy instead of temperature, and special algorithm is developed for calculating local temperature and fraction of solid and liquid, knowing mixture enthalpy. Isothermal character of phase change phenomena was a main difficulty in order to get temperature and mass fraction of solid phase field from mixture enthalpy, known from governing equations. 

During my Ph.D. study, I worked on mathematical and numerical modeling of transport phenomena in ternary Al-Cu-Mg alloy as multi-component system. Macrosegregation i.e. redistribution of alloying elements which occurs in ingot scale is usually induced by a relative movement of both solid and liquid phase during the casting process, and can be successfully described with standard set of transport equations (mass, momentum, energy and concentration). As a constitutive correlation for macroscopic set of equations, generic ternary phase diagram of ternary Al-Cu-Mg alloy and appropriate microsegregation model has been implemented. This microscopic model was used to compute local temperatures, solid and liquid fractions and compositions of both alloying elements. The different sets of equations were used for primary and subsequent solidifications. The non-equilibrium in primary phase is enforced as well as diffusion that is modeled 1-D planar model. Compositional profiles of Cu and Mg in primary, secondary and ternary phase can be calculated with represented model, as well as ratio between phases and diffusion of Cu and Mg in primary phase.

After finishing of my Ph.D. dissertation the main research is focused on experimental validation of macro and micro modeling of ternary Al alloys. Experimental installation is composed from metal mold, electrical heaters and water-cooled heat exchanger for heat removal during the casting. Temperature measurements have been performed at the all six sides of mold, while the measurements inside the mold are taken too. Aluminum based Al-4wt%Cu-1wt%Mg alloy was cast couple of times and temperature and compositional measurements have been cut and compared with predicted values. Also, alloy Al-32wt%Cu-2wt%Mg is also cast with similar conditions as previous mentioned. The purpose of those experiments is to evaluate model that was developed during my PhD study. Some of these results have been published at EUROTHERM 69 Conference, held in Slovenia 2003.

During the period 2004 – 2008 I participated in two separate projects in the frame of scientific cooperation with Slovenian institutions (University of Nova Gorica), and we successfully worked on developing of microsegregation codes for ternary commercial alloys (Al-Cu-Mg, Al-Mg-Si, Al-Fe-Si) which are of interest of company IMPOL d.d (www.impol.si) from Slovenska Bistrica. The all developed codes were successfully implemented in well known macroscopic mixture models and codes for vertical (VDC) and horizontal (HDC) casting of ternary aluminum alloys.

Teaching Experience

At the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Faculty of Metallurgy and Technology at University of Montenegro I have taught as an Assistant the following graduate courses:

- Thermodynamics

- Refrigeration systems,

- Steam Boilers,

- Heating and Ventilation,

- Fluid Mechanics.

After finishing my Ph.D. work after I was promoted in Assistant Professor I started teach two new established courses:

• Numerical methods in Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow (Energetic);
• Measuring and Simulations of Energetic Processes;

These courses were performed for a first time at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in school year 2003/2004.

After 2006 I started teach

• Air conditioning at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering;
• Thermodynamics at Maritime faculty in Kotor.
