FLUID FLOW IN SEN AND MOLD: SIMULATION AND MEASUREMENTS
- Carlo Mapelli (Politecno di Milano)
In continuous steel casting, the turbulent liquid steel flow in the mold has a significant influence on the produced steel quality. The varying process parameters casting speed and inert gas injection at the stopper rod tip influence the mold flow pattern. Most investigations consider the original geometry of the submerged entry nozzle. During the casting process, material deposition and...
Simulation-based analysis of flow phenomena in continuous casting moulds is a mature and well-established practice. Commonly applied approaches include Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and physical modelling techniques, such as water modelling and, more recently, liquid metal experiments. These methods enable detailed evaluation of submerged entry nozzles (SEN) performance and support their...
