基于反算热流的结晶器内流动--传热--凝固耦合模拟

基于Navier-Stokes动量方程和湍流低雷诺数k-ε方程，综合考虑能量守恒和钢液凝固与糊状区对流动过程的影响，建立了描述结晶器内钢液流动、传热及凝固过程的三维耦合数学模型。以实测温度和结晶器反问题模型计算出的热流为边界条件，模拟计算了结晶器内钢水的流动、传热和凝固行为。钢液流动决定结晶器内的温度和热流分布，铸坯凝固受钢液流动和结晶器热流双重因素的影响。建立的模型以及由此得到的铸坯凝固非均匀特征可为进一步考察浇铸过程中纵裂和其他表面缺陷提供借鉴和参考。

Simulation of coupled fluid flow,heat transfer and solidification in slab continuous casting molds based on heat flux from an inverse model

A three-dimensional mathematical model is developed based on the Navier- Stokes momentum equation and the low Reynolds number turbulence k-εequation. This model comprehensively considers energy conservation, molten steel solidification and the influence of the mushy zone on the flow process. Нeat flux obtained through an inverse heat transfer model combined with measured temperature is set as the boundary condition to the coupling model, to investigate fluid flow, heat transfer and solidification in the con-tinuous casting mold. It is found that liquid steel flow has important influence on the distributions of temperature and heat flux, and the solidification process is governed by a synthetic action of fluid flow and heat flux. The proposed model and the non-uniform characteris-tic of solidification can provide reference for further investigation on longitudinal cracks and other surface defects during continuous casting.
