Application of finite volume method for pure metal continuous casting

Because of simulating the solidification process in the continuous procedure of pure metal casting, a simple and accurate control volume method has been developed. A stationary grid is used in this method, while the released or absorbed latent heat is included in the source term. The phase change occurs in control volumes in which the melting temperature is maintained. The method is applied to the continuous casting process. According to the obtained results, it is confirmed that the method is appropriate for predictions in heat transfer problems involving phase transformation.
