I want to setup a simulation of a cooling channel for a continuous cooling process of a solid (comparable to continuous casting but without the cast) and wanted to know if somebody has experience with such a case and if I choose the correct strategy? In the process a continuous solid (plate) is moved with a velocity in a cooling channel and is surrounded by air (cf. picture).

Have a look at the reference frame options in the Cell Zones. You can assign the motion to the solid, and that'll drag fluid along with it depending on how you set the boundary conditions.
