Simulation of Hardening and Cooling Processes for Moving Melts in Special Casting Technologies

Abstract

A mathematical model and an algorithm for numerical solution of conjugate problem concerning hydrodynamics and heat transfer of hardening and cooling processes with liquid metal flow is given in the paper.

Quantitative relationships between heating and hydrodynamic parameters of moving melts in the channels of metallic molds of special casting technologies have been determined in the paper. The analysis of temperature pattern and velocity field makes it possible to reveal an influence of boundary conditions on melt flow structure.
