摘要
A three-dimensional computational model, coupled with the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) model and Volume of Fluid (VOF) multiphase model, was established to investigate the two-phase flow and slag entrainment during steel bloom continuous casting. The influence of the in-mold electromagnetic stirring (M-EMS), casting speed, and submerged entry nozzle (SEN) immersion depth on the flow pattern and slag entrainment were evaluated. The number, size, velocity, and spatial distribution of slag droplets were counted and the location, velocity and probability of the slag entrainment on the meniscus were exported in real time through a user defined function. The result shows that the slag entrainment mainly occurred around the 1/4 width of the mold. The equivalent diameter of most slag droplets was 2-6 mm under the current casting condition. A formula for the equivalent diameter distribution of slag droplets was proposed according to the statistical result. (c) 2021 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
