Abstract: By means of numerical simulation. the in fluence of gravity on fluid flow,patterns has been simulated.The result shows that with the increase of inclined angle,the velocity of fluid flow decreases and the isotherms become flatter,which suppresses the evolution of channel segregation.

Key words: gravity field, fluid flow.solidification behavior, channel segregation
