Evaluation of the Effect of Cooling Conditions and Heat Transfer Coefficients on Solidification of Al-Cu Binary Alloy in Static Casting Process

Source-based method for modelling solidification problems have been modified and presented in the current work. It coupled the effect of thermal radiation to macro-transport codes and was solved using finite volume method. The problem was formulated based on the classic continuum energy conservation equation for transient conduction controlled solidification system. Radiation heat transfer and latent heat evolution were added as source terms and...
