...Lina Zhu; Guangjun Wang; Hong Chen; Zhaoming Luo This study provides a new inverse approach based on fuzzy inference for solving the problem of estimating heat flux distribution at the metal-mold interface in the continuous casting process. Measured temperatures acquired with the thermocouples...

...Michele Chiumenti; Carlos Agelet de Saracibar; Miguel Cervera The paper shows the intrinsic difficulties found in the numerical simulation of industrial casting processes using finite element (FE) analysis. Up until now, uncoupled pure thermal simulations have been mostly considered to model...

...M. Ruhul Amin; Nikhil L. Gawas Multiphase fluid flow involving solidification is common in many industrial processes such as extrusion, continuous casting, drawing, etc. The present study concentrates on the study of air gap formation due to metal shrinkage on the interfacial heat transfer...

...Christopher J. Vreeman; J. David Schloz; Matthew John M. Krane, Assistant Professor, Member, ASME A continuum mixture model of the direct chill casting process is compared to experimental results from industrial scale aluminum billets. The model, which includes the transport of free-floating solid...

...X. Pu, Graduate Student, A fully implicit control-volume finite element method is used to analyze the phase change during DC casting of aluminum alloy. The mathematical model is based on the integral form of the enthalpy equation. A Eulerian-Lagrangian transformation, together with a deforming grid...
