Abstract

The present work aims to solve the continuous casting benchmark problem in axisymmetry with turbulence in the melt by the meshless method. The physical model of the liquid-solid system that involves mass, momentum and energy conservation is formulated in the mixture continuum approximation. The melt is assumed Newtonian and incompressible. A k-epsilon Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes turbulence model is implemented with Abe-Kondoh-Nagano closures. The mushy region is modelled as a Darcy porous media with the Kozeny-Carman permeability model. The solution of partial differential equations is implemented locally using collocation with radial basis functions and explicit time-stepping. The velocity pressure coupling is performed using the fractional step method. The validation of the model is assessed by comparing its outcomes with the results of the finite volume method. A sensitivity study of the varying casting speed and temperature on the velocity, temperature, and solid fraction fields is shown.
