Abstract
Fluid flows in a two-strand tundish for slab continuous casting were performed with mathematical simulation methods. The molten steel flow velocity fields in the tundish with a turbulence inhibitor, dam, and weir were numerically calculated. Simulation results showed that the tundish with a turbulence inhibitor with no opened holes has similar flow characteristics to the tundish with dam and weir. These results are essential to optimizing the turbulence inhi bitor, dam and weir parameters for slab continuous casting tundish.
