5th International Conference on Advances in Solidification Processes (ICASP-5) 5th International Symposium on Cutting Edge of Computer Simulation of Solidification, Casting and Refining (CSSCR-5)

Continuous casting is currently the main industrial process for steel production. Since long time, industries search for efficient simulation methods, by which macrosegregation and deformation induced cracks can be predicted. As a first step this requires achieving concurrent simulation of fluid flow and stress-strain. Therefore, a partitioned solution algorithm is developed for such simulation with application to continuous casting. Liquid flow induced by natural convection or filling step, solidification shrinkage as well as thermally induced deformation of solid phase are accounted for.
