Abstract
An investigation on the coupling technique for boundary element and finite difference methods was carried out to simulate solidification processes. In the coupling model, solidification problems in casting and unsteady-state heat conduction problems in mold regions were analyzed by explicit finite difference and boundary element methods, respectively. A comparison was made between the coupling model and the finite difference method on the solidification of castings in metal and sand molds. The proper range of time steps for boundary elements in transient problems was presented for a simple geometry. And two types of time marching schemes were proposed for application of the boundary element method to solidification processes.
