Description

In the current work, an one-quarter scale water model was established to investigate the effect of bubbles and slags on the fluid flow in a slab continuous casting mold. The variation of the profile of the top surface and the critical condition for the entrainment of slags were studied using a high-speed camera. A Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) was used to measure the fluid flow velocity and turbulent characteristics, considering the effect of slag phase and bubble phase. It was found that the slag phase could press the surface velocity and level fluctuation. The maximum casting speed and minimum submergence depth of SEN to prevent the entrainment of slags were also investigated.
