Finite Element Analysis of Flow Field and Temperature Field in Continuous Casting Mold

Abstract:

Researching on continuous casting mold at a domestic steel slab, the coupled models of flow field and temperature field inside of mold were established in finite element analysis software ANSYS, and the flow field and temperature field of liquid steel in mold was simulated. The effect on flow field and temperature field in continuous casting mold caused by change of the withdrawal speed was mainly discussed in this paper. The simulation results show that the change of withdrawal speed has little effect on flow field and much effect on temperature distribution in mold. The simulation results are good agreed with the practical produce data, verifying the accuracy of the numerical simulation analysis, which provide theoretical basis and effective guidance for improving process and increasing yield in practical production.
