In this research, the simulation of aluminium direct-chill casting has been achieved focused on the fluid flow and thermal conditions. Control Volume Method is used applying the NovaFlow&Solid simulation software and the JMatPro software was used for the calculation of the material properties. 6 ingot geometries were examined using 4 commercial alloys. A hybrid method is developed for the calculation of the material properties and as a result, the temperature profiles and the liquid phase is analysed.
