A numerical method for simulation of continuous casting solidification process

A simple and accurate control volume method has been developed for simulating the solidification process in the continuous procedure of pure metal casting. The method uses a stationary grid, while the released or absorbed latent heat is included in the source term. The melting temperature is maintained in control volumes in which the phase change occurs. The method was tested against the analytical solution for the case of semi-infinite plate cooling, and then applied to the continuous casting process. The obtained results confirm that the method is appropriate for predictions in heat transfer problems involving phase transformation.
