TL;DR: In this paper, the major fixed grid formulations and solution methods for conduction controlled phase change problems are categorised using a two phase model of a solid/liquid phase change, the basic enthalpy equation is derived.

TL;DR: A review of the current state-of-the-art in the evaluation of steel cleanliness can be found in this paper, where a wide range of important operating conditions throughout the steelmaking and casting processes are discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, a model of heat transfer and solidification of the continuous casting of steel slabs is described, including phenomena in the mold and spray regions, which can be applied to a wide range of practical problems in continuous casters.

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple analytical model of microsegregation for the solidification of multicomponent steel alloys is presented, based on the Clyne-Kurz model and extended to take into account the effects of multiple components, a columnar dendrite microstructure, coarsening, and the δ/γ transformation.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of recent developments in modeling phenomena related to fluid flow in the continuous casting mold region, and the resulting implications for improving the process is presented, including the transport of bubbles and inclusion particles, multi-phase flow phenomena, the effect of electromagnetic forces, heat transfer, interfacial phenomena and interactions between the steel surface and the slag layers.
