文摘Equations for numerical simulation of channel segregation based on a model of continuum ap- proach to porous medium were advanced.In order to solve the non-linear computation prob- lem caused by the interactions between unknown variables in the equations,the trial-and-er- ror method is used.The computation results showed that the radial back-flow due to natural convection in mushy zone indeed exists in A1-4.5wt-%Cu alloy ingot under the condition of low cooling rate,and that the numerical simulation of channel segregation is applicable due to the coincidence of calculated concentration with the experimental values.
