Abstract

The article presents the results of liquid steel flow and mixing in tundish when applying turbulence inhibitor to modernize the tundish working zone. The flow of six-strand continuous casting tundish of a trough-type was investigated with numerical modeling. For turbulence modeling, the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equation and the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) methods have been used. Numerical simulations are carried out with the finitevolume commercial code AnsysFluent.
