Hello all,
I an trying to simulate continuous casting process in COMSOL Multiphysics. To observe the effect of solidification I am using apparent heat capacity method. In this method the latent heat of the material is incorporated in the specific heat (Cp)of the material between liquidus and solidus temperature.
when I am running the simulation with and without the latent heat, I am getting the same results. There is no change in the maximum and minimum temperature.
When I run the simulation with simpler domain I am getting the effect of latent heat on the temperatures.
Can some body suggest to me why this is happening with my actual domain?
All types of suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks
