Thermo fluid Mathematical Modeling of St

Continuous slab casting of steel is a complex process that involves the delivery of liquid metal into a cooled mold, wherein various phenomena such as turbulent fluid flow and solidification occur simultaneously. This study aims to develop a mathematical model that elucidates the interactions between solidified shell and fluid dynamics within the mold cavity, with a focus on enhancing the quality and productivity of the casting process. The proposed model incorporates critical factors, including the impact of multiphase fluid flow, thermal effects, and solidification dynamics, which are essential for understanding and optimizing the casting conditions. The research reviews advancements in mathematical modeling over the past few decades and highlights the integration of computational techniques, enabling the simulation of intricate fluid movements and temperature variations. Furthermore, the findings emphasize the significance of modeling local solutal convection effects and dendritic solidification growth characteristics in governing the casting quality in the equiaxed zone. Ultimately, this paper provides insights into how advanced modeling can contribute to improved outcomes in steel slab casting, paving the way for enhanced product quality and industrial efficiency.
