Numerical Simulation of Vertical Direct Chill Casting Using CFD Method
摘要
A computational fluid dynamics (CFDComputational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)) model with estimated heat transferHeat transfer coefficient was used to simulate the vertical direct chill castingCasting process. The model helps to understand how changes in parameters (such as castingCasting temperature, castingCasting speed, and cooling conditionsCooling conditions ) during castingCasting affect the final temperature distributionDistribution in the castingCasting ingot. Furthermore, it establishes correlations between these parameters and helps to optimize the temperature gradient between the high and low melting temperature regions. Temperature distributionDistribution and sump profile were validated experimentally in a DC castingDC casting pit for AA6082 Aluminum alloyAluminum alloy.
