Sažetak
The article presents the results of numerical and water model studies of a steel flow in a one-strand continuous casting tundish. The flow field measurements are obtained at a 1:3 scale water model of the tundish with the Laser-Doppler Anemometry (LDA) method, during steady-state casting. The LDA-measurements are performed using the Reynolds-similarity criterion. Numerical simulations of the three-dimensional turbulent fluid flow in a tundish are carried out with the finite-volume commercial code FLUENT. Mathematical model, validated with experimental results, is used to simulate liquid steel flow through a 1:1 scale industrial facility – a 16 t tundish.
