| Summary: | A model has been built to calculate the solute redistribution in continuously cast thin slab and the effect of the fluid flow in mush on the centerline segregation was analyzed. The corresponding simulation program was developed by applying the SIMPLER algorithm. The momentum, energy and species conservation equations were solved simultaneously. The macro-segregation of a 3-D thin slab with 900 mm x 50 mm cross section was simulated. The obtained results show that negative segregation forms near the slab surface and severe centerline segregation forms in the mid-thickness plane. The species concentration in the centerline of the slab increases obviously at the final solidification stage. |
