Abstract
For the horizontal continuous casting process, the flow field, the temperature distribution and the formation of the shell are analysed by means of a finite-element solution of the Navier-Stokes and the energy equations for axisymmetric laminar flow. The liquid and solid phase, as well as the two-phase region (“mushy zone”), are treated as a single phase using an effective viscosity formulation. The computations start from a steady-state solution for the time-averaged withdrawing velocity. The transient computations are then continued until a periodic solution is attained.
