Abstract

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