Effects of several casting parameters on slag entrapment in mould (part B:numerical modeling)

Based on the effects of several casting parameters on slag entrapment in the mould (water modeling),the numerical modeling was researched. The results show that the flow field with a submerged nozzle section dimension of 65 mm×80 mm is better than that with a submerged nozzle section dimension of 40 mm×40 mm and is favorable for avoiding slag entrapment. In this paper,low surface velocity,small level fluctuation and proper impact depth can be achieved with a nozzle of an outlet angle of 25° and an immersion depth of 150 mm,or with a prototype nozzle of an outlet angle of 15° angle and an immersion depth of 150 mm.
