Structure optimization of continuous casting tundish with channel-type induction heating using mathematical modeling

Abstract There are few studies on the shape and structure of channel-type induction heating tundish multi-physics field. Computational fluid dynamics has been used to study influence macroscopic transport behavior with channel heating. The results show that increasing depth molten pool is conducive dynamic multiphase, deeper pool, larger active area, longer residence time, more inclusions removal higher ratio plug dead volume. Meanwhile, diameter, in receiving chamber channel. enough ability increase superheat temperature compensate for heat loss caused by excessive time steel tundish. change crucial fluid. diameter greatest effect field pool.
