By monitoring the heat flux density of the continuous casting area in real time, the temperature field and flow velocity field data can be used to calculate the instantaneous heat flux density at each time node using the Fourier law or other heat transfer formulas. According to the real-time measured temperature field, the temperature gradient of each area is calculated, which reflects the spatial distribution and transmission direction of heat in the metal liquid. The instantaneous temperature gradient can be obtained by numerical difference or interpolation method. By regularly recording these instantaneous data, the heat flux density and temperature gradient distribution over time are established. Using the collected instantaneous heat flux density and temperature gradient data, the dynamic change range of the difference in heat transfer caused by diffusion and convection effect in different continuous casting areas is calculated. The heat flux density and temperature gradient in different time nodes or different areas are compared, and the differences between them are analyzed. Based on the relationship between heat flux density and temperature gradient, the strength of the difference in heat transfer caused by diffusion and convection effect in each area is calculated. For example, a larger temperature gradient may represent a stronger diffusion effect, while a high flow rate area may exhibit a stronger convection effect. According to the differences, the dynamic change range of diffusion and convection effect in different areas is obtained, revealing the non-uniformity in the heat transfer process. The heat flux density and temperature gradient differences at each time node are quantified, and the time dependence of the diffusion and convection effect on the heat transfer difference is analyzed. By comparing the changes of heat flux density and temperature gradient at different time nodes, the law of the change of the difference in heat transfer caused by diffusion and convection effect over time is evaluated. For example, if the temperature gradient of a certain area increases over time, it may indicate that the heat transfer process in that area is gradually becoming non-uniform, or the effect of diffusion and convection is gradually increasing. Quantify these information into time-dependent curves to show the trend of heat transfer difference at different time nodes. By combining historical heat information, comparing the dynamic change range and time dependence in the current continuous casting process, potential heat transfer differences are identified. The heat flux density and temperature gradient data in the current process are compared with historical data to see if there are significant changes. For example, if the heat transfer difference in some areas becomes larger and larger, it may indicate potential heat transfer non-uniformity or process abnormalities. Based on the dynamic change range and time dependence, potential factors that may cause the difference in heat transfer are identified, such as changes in the cooling system, instability of metal flow, etc. By comparing historical data, the influence range of these potential differences is analyzed, and the possible impact on continuous casting quality is predicted.

[0109] Further, the boundary conditions corresponding to the multi-physical field coupling model are set, including:

[0110] The temperature boundary conditions are set according to the actual operating conditions of the process, including the initial temperature, surface temperature, and temperature distribution of the phase change region.

[0111] The fluid dynamic characteristic boundary condition is set according to the fluid flow characteristic, and the fluid dynamic characteristic boundary condition includes fluid velocity, a turbulent flow model and thermal physical parameters of the fluid.

[0112] As a preferred embodiment of the above embodiment, the temperature boundary condition is set according to the actual operation condition of the continuous casting process, wherein the initial temperature of the metal liquid, the surface temperature of the contact area with the mold and the temperature distribution of the phase change region are included, the initial temperature is usually determined by the furnace temperature or the melting temperature of the metal liquid, the surface temperature is considered under the influence of the external cooling condition, especially the cooling water flow rate and the cooling medium temperature, and the temperature distribution of the phase change region is particularly important when the metal liquid solidifies, because the temperature of the region changes sharply and is accompanied by a large amount of latent heat release or absorption, and the corresponding temperature boundary condition needs to be set by analyzing the phase change characteristics of the metal, secondly, the fluid dynamic characteristic boundary condition is set according to the fluid flow characteristic, including the velocity field of the fluid, the turbulent flow model and the thermal physical parameters, the velocity field of the fluid plays a key role in heat transfer and temperature field distribution, and needs to be accurately set through a flow rate distribution model, for turbulent flow, a suitable turbulent flow model is used to describe the flow characteristic, and the thermal physical parameters (such as specific heat capacity, thermal conductivity, density and viscosity) of the fluid also need to be accurately set, because they directly affect heat transfer and fluid flow, finally, after the temperature and fluid dynamic characteristic boundary conditions are set, the coupling effect of the two is considered comprehensively to ensure that the temperature field and flow field of the metal liquid are effectively simulated, and the boundary conditions jointly act to ensure accurate simulation of heat transfer, fluid flow and temperature distribution.
