Coupled Modeling of Fluid Flow,Heat Transfer and Solidification of Molten Steel in a Casting Mold with Double Horizontally Stabilized Electromagnetic Brakes
双条横稳电磁制动板坯结晶器内钢液流动与传热及凝固耦合的数值模拟

A three-dimensional model of liquid steel flow,temperature and solidification in a slab casting mold with magnetic induction is presented in FLUENT and magneto-hydrodynamics(MHD).The model is applied to investigate the effects of flow and heat transfer in the mold with and without electromagnetic brakes(EMB),their strength is measured at a steel plant.The results show that free face velocity and penetration depth of liquid steel can be decreased under a constant EMB strength.Electromagnetic forces can be co...
