Modeling the dynamics of thermal processes in a mold and solidifying metalingots

Computer simulation of nonsteady thermophysical processes in a multichannel mold where cylindrical ingots are solidifying is undertaken. On the basis of the corresponding mathematical model, a numerical algorithm and program for the solution of the three-dimensional nonsteady problem are developed. The dynamics of temperature-field variation in the mold - ingot system is i nvestigated. The conditions determining the development of the mold thermos tress state are analyzed.
