Résumé

Process analysis of continuous casting processes have been formulated based on mathematical models, describing heat transfer, fluid dynamics and thermal stress. The applied models cover a wide spectrum from marginal qualitative to fundamental quantitative descriptions. They all have in common the explicit objectives to improve the insight into the complex behaviour of casting processes and to establish a quantitative framework for the rational design and control of continuous casting equipment.
Heat flow plays a central role during casting; besides the primary need to cool down the liquid metal and to remove the latent heat, it gives rise to buoyancy driven flows in the liquid metal and the development of thermal stresses in the solidified metal.
In this paper some of the continuous casting process modelling of heat flow and related phenomena will be discussed.
