Abstract
The fluid flow, temperature and solidification in ultra-thick slab continuous casting mold had been studied through comparing with conventional thick slab molds. The numerical simulation results shown the ultra-thick slab mold also had two recirculation regions. But its jet could not diffuse to the wide face owing to the thickness of mold. This leaded larger low velocity zone near the mold wall. And it had great influence to temperature distribution on the mold surface and shell thickness uniformity at the mold bottom section.
