摘要：
The mold is the core component of a continuous caster, and the complex metallurgical behavior in the mold is the primary factor determining the quality of continuous casting slabs. The numerical simulation method based on meshing, such as the finite element method, has become an important method to study the complex heat transfer and mechanical behavior in the mold. With in-depth research, the meshing-based numerical simulation method has been found incapable of accurately reconstructing the solidified shell shape of slabs and tracing the liquid-solid phases coexisting region, and addressing some complex problems such as large deformation and crack propagation is difficult. To investigate the feasibility of the meshless method for solving the solidification process of continuous casting billet, according to the moving least square method and variational principle, a two-dimensional unsteady transient heat transfer mathematical model of billet solidification process in mold was established based on element-free Galerkin method. In this work, an arrangement of the uniform, increased density, and randomly distributed nodes was used to calculate the change of temperature field during the billet solidification process. The calculation results of the element-free Galerkin method were compared with the reference solution and the numerical solution of the finite element method. The results show that the element-free Galerkin method outperforms the finite element method in terms of accuracy, adaptability, and mesh-dependence. The study results provide references for applying the meshless method to the numerical calculation of heat transfer, solidification, and stress/strain behaviors in the continuous casting process. © All right reserved.
