Hi everyone,
I need to simulate the solidification of steel.
At the moment I'm using the solver solidificationFoam, but there are some missing things:
-Communication between solid and liquid domain, ingot and ingot mold
-Thermal Shrinkage
-Viscosity variation as a function of temperature

What solver do you recommend?

Thanks in advance!

I think you have done the problem. Can you share your solver here, I'm also doing a similar problem. I stuck in between.



Thanks in advance

Phase change solvers not available for this requirement. Few foam-extend solvers are close to what you want to do, but difficult to implement unless coded in. Please reach out if you need help with this.
