The proposed solution includes local density variations at the level of mechanical solution (the incompressibility condition was replaced with the condition of mass conservation), and at the same time simulates the grain growth in a comprehensive resistance heating process combined with a local remelting followed by free/controlled cooling of the sample tested. Simulation of grain growth in the entire computing domain would not be possible without the support of GPU processors. There was a 59-fold increase in the computing speed on the GPU compared to single-threaded computing on the CPU. The study was complemented by examples of experimental and computer simulation results, showing the correctness of the adopted model assumptions.}, type={Article}, title={A Novel FE/MC-based Mathematical Model of Mushy Steel Deformation with GPU Support}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/123322/PDF/AMM-2022-2-44-Hojny.pdf}, doi={10.24425/amm.2022.137812}, keywords={FEM, Monte Carlo, extra-high temperatures, soft-reduction, GPU}, }
