What is Numerical Study of Influence of Casting Speed on Fluid Flow Characteristics in the Four Strand Tundish about?
Steel maker companies attempt to achieve high production quality and decrease production costs due to high competition of the global steel industry. Steel cleanliness plays a significant role in the steel quality which is the key success factor for the steelmaker. In order to optimize the steel cleanliness in the continuous casting process, flow characteristics were studied to enhance the inclusion removal efficiency in four strand tundish. The purpose of this research is to study the effect of casting speed on the flow characteristics of molten steel inside a four-strand tundish. The investigation was carried out by using the commercial computational fluid dynamic (CFD) software ANSYS 18.2. A 1:3 water model tundish based on process parameters from Millcon Steel PLC were employed in this study. The simulation results were validated with the physical water model. The residence time distribution (RTD) curves were applied to analyze the flow characteristics of the tundish. The results of this study show the different casting speeds have an effect on the flow characteristics inside the tundish. The start point of RTD curve of the flow in the tundish with casting speed of 3.0 m/min is
