Abstract
Our understanding of welding has evolved mostly through experiments that have contributed so much to the success of the process. However, in some cases, experiments alone are not able to provide the insights needed to drive the most difficult of advanced materials-engineering. It is impossible, for example, to determine the entire flow field within a weld pool, the knowledge that can be critical in determining the ability of the pool to penetrate the joint. Well-tested mechanistic models of welding can do this quite effectively and inform on the best way forward. There are even occasions where the models can lead to entirely unexpected outcomes. A few of these concepts are illustrated here as an introduction to the power of digital intervention in welding.
