Turbulent flow and heat transfer coupled with solidification in slab continuous casting mold was studied by numerical simulation method. Volume of fluid (VOF) model is used to solve steel-air two-phase flow problem and enthalpy-porosity scheme is introduced to solve the fluid flow problem involving solidification. Contributions of various nozzle port angles and port widths and heights on the free surface fluctuation and the thickness of solidifying shell in slab mold were particularly investigated, based on which the structure of submerged entry nozzle was optimized. Flow inside the common nozzle port cannot fill the entire outlet area, having a recirculation in the upper portion of the port, which is enlarged for the nozzle port with both larger height and width. Results show that the flow in mold cavity is mainly controlled by the nozzle port angle. The increase of the angle of upper face of the port to shape a roughly streamlined inner-wall improves the effective area fraction of the nozzle, resulting in less jet impingement, weaker free surface turbulence and thicker solidifying steel shell.

Transport in S(2) molecules sandwiched between Au electrodes is investigated with a combination of density functional theory and the non-equilibrium Green's function method. We consider four different configurations and find that their conductances are related to the details of the bonding geometry. When S(2) connects to pyramidal-shaped electrodes at the top site, the transmission is governed by a resonance and is strongly affected by the bias. In contrast, the transport of the remaining three configurations is through several closely spaced broad molecular orbitals, and the transmission coefficient is almost flat around the Fermi level.

Young's equation is discussed on a thermodynamic basis. The result shows that the equation is a thermodynamic equilibrium of the wetting system rather than a force balance. The equilibrium satisfies the general equilibrium condition, that is, Gibbs free energy should be minimum when the wetting equilibrium is reached. The validity of Young's equation is only limited to some special cases, namely if the droplet shape is an exact sphere sector. It implies that Young's equation can only be used in the case without the action of gravity. If the curve of the liquid surface changes, the term of cos theta in Young's equation should be replaced by another functional form of the contact angle theta. In the discussion, the author suggests that, in the case of a solid, the surface energy should be considered rather than the surface tension, and the concept of a solid surface tension should be reconsidered based on the difference between a liquid surface and a solid surface.

Numerical simulation of casting's mold filling process is the main and the most important aspect of the foundry CAE technology. But it is time-consuming; it may take dozens of hours or several days. While with the development of computer hardware, numerical simulation of casting's mold filling process has made rapid progress. The simulation results, therefore, have become more and more practical. This study tries to find some clues of the computational time of mold filling process. Firstly, this paper introduces mathematic model and the basic route of numerical simulation of casting's mold filling process. Then the computational time of mold filling process has been carefully studied, and some new and useful results have been gained from the study of the computational time. Finally, this paper has given some real applications of numerical simulation of casting's mold filling process.
