- Additional information
- The very first accurate model of ultrasonic processing in continuous casting that takes into account the proper cavitation physics in the melt and is validated via experiments in an industrial scale direct chill casting facility. Numerical model is computationally attractive and Open Access. Paper contributes towards the scale up of ultrasonic technology. Research is promising and there are more tests in the pipeline using the industrial casting facilities of Constellium Ltd that is part of UltraMelt2 EPSRC project. Research is interdisciplinary and involves: advanced physics and mathematics underpinned by material science.
