Abstract

During the production of metals by casting liquid metal flows from a furnace into a
mould. Cooling water then reduces the temperature of the mould wall to induce solidification. Through heat transfer, the liquid metal undergoes a phase change to solid state. Finally, solid metal cools down to environmental conditions. This is shown in the picture.

The final products may have defects: pulse marks on the surface or pore cavities inside. The project is to minimize a) defects and b) energy consumption, by redesigning the shape and size of mould, and determining the casting velocity and cooling water temperature for different alloys.

This poster focuses on liquid metal modelling within the casting process, temporarily excluding solidification effects. The difference between a commonly used incompressible flow model in the literature [1] and a more realistic proposed compressible flow model is explored.
