The vertical up casting is one of the type of continuous casting process. There are many advantages of vertical upcasting process over horizontal continuous casting like space and strength. There are different materials that can be castedby this process like steel, copper etc. The work represent the numerical simulation of progressive vertical up casting with 4mm stroke of copper mother tube. Enthalpy-Porosity technique is used via ANSYS Fluent to track mushy state. Differentinferences are drawn by simulation that directional solidification is achieved and driving force of nucleation is decreasingand is dominated by growth process for grains. Temperature gradients and solidification front velocity are plotted with timeand distance.
