Recent developments in modelling metal flow and solidification

  • Chapter
Modelling the Flow and Solidification of Metals

Abstract

This paper discusses the modelling of a number of metallurgical systems involving flow and solidification. The discussion is neither definitive nor critical, but is an attempt to provide information on important processes not covered elsewhere in this volume. The subjects covered include rapid solidification, semi-solid casting, natural convection and alternative formulations for solidification modelling. In addition, some new results for hyperbolic heat transfer and heat losses during mould filling are presented. Throughout the discussion, the practical application of the various models is stressed and wherever possible use is made of industrial examples. Finally, a substantial, although by no means exhaustive bibliography is provided to indicate where further details of the work may be found.
