State Of The Art In Modelling Of Continuous Casting

Numerical simulation tools for continuous casting processes have recently been enriched with a new innovative technique based on a Mixed Lagrangian Eulerian Method (further noted as MiLE) implemented in the finite element software ProCAST. In order to treat non-steady phenomena in continuous casting, one has to consider an extending computation domain : as casting proceeds, new elements have to be added to or activated in the existing mesh.
