| Abstract Scope |
A three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics model has been developed to investigate the fluid dynamic behavior inside a continuous casting mold to identify and characterize oscillations in the discharge jets and free surface oscillations. The model incorporates the interaction of the multiphase flow of steel-slag-air. The turbulence model is the k-ɛ model, and (VOF) multiphase model to capture the flow dynamics inside the mold, surface oscillations, and slag layer protection. Velocity fields, turbulent kinetic energy and dynamic pressure were obtained to characterize the flow. The flow exhibits four large recirculation zones inside the mold, each with different dimensions and positions, resulting in a non-symmetric flow field at all times. High percentages of backflow were observed at different calculation times within the SEN discharge ports, along with the presence of vortices within the pool and throughout the SEN tip volume. |
