Modelling of Macrosegregation in Continuous Casting of Aluminium

Within the framework of the Brite-Euram research program EMPACT (A European Modelling Programme on Aluminium Casting Technology), macrosegregation in continuously cast Al-Mg slabs has been modelled. For that purpose, the average conservation equations of mass, momentum, heat and solute were derived, including the shrinkage contribution and the transport of the solid.
