Abstract
Hydrodynamic conditions occurring in the tundish are strictly connected with the equipment of its working zone. On such conditions influence also many factors such as: the amount of steel present in the working zone, the velocity of steel casting. In order to study these relationships the CFD simulation and physical modelling were applied. Research was carried out for the following parameters: different velocity of steel casting, bare tundish and tundish with turbulence inhibitor (kind of working zone equipment) and the amount of liquid steel in tundish equal 5,5 Mg and 7,5 Mg.
