CALCULATION AND DISCUSSION ON THE HEAT FLUX IN MOULD OF CONTINUOUS CASTING ROUND BILLET
连铸圆坯结晶器的热流计算与讨论

Based on the measured data of mould temperatures and heat flux, an inverse problem of mathematic model was developed to calculate the field of heat flux for continuous casting round billet. The characteristics of non-uniform longitudinal and circumferential heat fluxes were shown explicitly. The calculated formulae of longitudinal and circumferential heat fluxes were obtained by fitting the calculated heat flux with considering the effect of casting speeds and mould installation statuses and were compared with the published experiential formulae. The inverse problem simulation and the fitted heat flux formulae are helpful for visualization of mould process and analysis of heat flux and accident in continuous casting round billet.
