Multiphase Model for the Prediction of Shrinkage Cavity, Inclusion and Macrosegregation in a 36-Ton Steel Ingot

A five-phase model consisting of a liquid phase, columnar dendrites, equiaxed grains, air, and inclusion (discrete phase) is developed to predict the shrinkage cavity, inclusion distribution and macrosegregation simultaneously during solidification of a 36-ton steel ingot. The air phase is introduce...
