Description
Summary:Heat transfer problem in the strand during continuous casting is considered in the paper. Steady state temperature field in a coordinate system attached to the mould has been analyzed. Phase change is assumed to take place at constant temperature. The nonlinearity in this problem is caused by the unknown location of the solid–liquid interface. To determine both, this location and the resulting temperature field in the strand, a novel BEM front tracking algorithm has been developed. Numerical examples like one-dimensional (1D) phase change benchmark (modeled as two-dimensional (2D)) and several 2D problems of continuous casting of copper are included and discussed.
