The accurate description of the interfacial heat transfer coefficient is of great significance for the accurate measurement of the temperature field in the process of casting cooling. In this paper, the solidification process of metallic tin in refractory mould was studied by physical simulation experiment, and the on-site temperature measurement of the mold structure was carried out. According to the temperature record, the numerical simulation method is used to realize the fitting of the calculated temperature and the measured temperature. The reversible method was used to calculate the interfacial heat transfer coefficient between the casting and the mould, and then the evolution of the internal temperature field of the casting during the cooling process was determined. The results show that the melt has a large shrinkage during the cooling process, and the interface heat transfer coefficient can reach 300 W·m-2·K-1, which provides a mathematical model for the annealing process of fused-cast refractories.

The success of numerical simulation of solidification process depends to a large extent on boundary condition. Interfacial heat transfer coefficient (IHTC) can be used to measure heat resistance between casting and mold. Boundary condition of casting and mold varies with the temperatures during solidification process. However, determination of heat exchange on the boundary is very complicated. A new simple reverse method has been introduced in this paper. A casting with simple geometry acts as the standard sample and a thermal couple records the temperature history at the center of the casting during solidification. The solidification simulation of the casting was conducted with different IHTCs. The equivalent IHTC that best fits the measured temperature can be determined by comparing the measured cooling curve with the calculated one.

Interfacial heat transfer coefficients in a porous medium modeled as a staggered array of square rods are numerically determined. High and low Reynolds k-ϵ turbulence models are used in conjunction of a two-energy equation model, which includes distinct transport equations for the fluid and the solid phases. The literature has documented proposals for macroscopic energy equation modeling for porous media considering the local thermal equilibrium hypothesis and laminar flow. In addition, two-energy equation models have been proposed for conduction and laminar convection in packed beds. With the aim of contributing to new developments, this work treats turbulent heat transport modeling in porous media under the local thermal nonequilibrium assumption. Macroscopic time-average equations for continuity, momentum, and energy are presented based on the recently established double decomposition concept (spatial deviations and temporal fluctuations of flow properties). The numerical technique employed for discretizing the governing equations is the control volume method. Turbulent flow results for the macroscopic heat transfer coefficient, between the fluid and solid phase in a periodic cell, are presented.
