The conservation equations of a coupled thermomechanical - solute transport model to be applied in mushy zones are first recalled. Then the numerical implementation is discussed, in the context of steel continuous casting modeling. Application to the study of the end of solidification is then considered and the effects of soft reduction process are discussed.
