The application relates to the technical field of metallurgical
continuous casting, and discloses a numerical calculation method for defining a
continuous casting electromagnetic stirring area. Firstly, based on the parameters of a
continuous casting machine and the cross-sectional size of a
casting blank, a three-dimensional transient solidification
simulation system coupling flow,
heat transfer,
mass transfer and a solidification model is constructed; then Maxwell equations are embedded into the
system in the form of a source term through a user-defined function,
bidirectional coupling calculation of an alternating
magnetic field and multiple physical fields is realized, and multiple
physical field distribution results are synchronously obtained; subsequently, a solidification rate dynamic calculation model is established based on a temperature field, a target stirring area is determined; finally, combined with real-time process parameters, optimal position coordinates of
electromagnetic stirring are dynamically calculated through a spatial vector
algorithm, the stirring shaft angle and the action range are synchronously corrected based on the solidification front morphology, and the position, direction and action range of
electromagnetic stirring are cooperatively optimized and controlled. The application solves the problem that the fixed electromagnetic stirring does not match the dynamic solidification process, and can effectively improve the core quality of the
casting blank.
