Abstract

The article presents the results of computer simulations of non-metallic inclusions behaviour in a slab tundish. The tundish is equipped with a dam with two holes. The authors employed the CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) numerical modeling technique to demonstrate changing process of non-metallic inclusions size distribution. The computer simulations were performed for non-isothermal and non-steady conditions of continuous steel casting process. As a result of computations, time characteristics of changing volume fraction for particular group of non-metallic inclusions were obtained.
