Finite element modelling of turbulent fluid flow and heat transfer in continuous casting
A two-dimensional finite element model has been developed to analyze turbulent, steady-state fluid flow and heat transfer within the liquid pool of a continuous steel-slab-casting machine, using the code FIDAP. To achieve a good convergence, various solution strategies, relaxation factors, and meshes have been investigated. The effect of various numerical modelling parameters on the flow and temperature solutions are also investigated.
