Projects : Continuous Casting Mold

The study investigates the interaction between liquid steel and slag within a continuous casting mold using computational fluid dynamics. Two geometries were considered: a scaled hydraulic water/oil model and an industrial-scale mold containing liquid steel, slag, and optionally injected argon gas. An incompressible multiphase solver with interface tracking was employed for both cases. The water model results were validated quantitatively against experimental data from Mass transfer coefficients across dynamic liquid steel/slag interface, while the industrial-scale simulations and the effects of argon injection were analyzed qualitatively due to limited experimental data.
