It is possible to show quantitatively the macrosegregation in steel ingot if the flow velocity of bulk liquid during solidification can be obtained. I t is found that the flow velocity of bulk liquid is determined by applying the hydrodynamical method known as Taylor 's vortex flow to the solidification. Using this method, the following relation is introduced,
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
