Abstract

Abstract: The free surface profile and fluid flow in the mold of continuous casting have been calculated by the VOF method coupling the SIMPLER algorithm. The SIMPLER-VOF model developed is validated by solving a classical experiment, broken dam problem. The calculated surface profile is consistent with water modelling. It is found that the free surface profile is coherently related to the position of circumfluence in the mold of continuous casting. With the increase of nozzle port inclination, the positive vortex above the jet is near to the meniscus and the level fluctuation becomes prominent.

Key words: Level fluctuation, Fluid flow, Continuous casting, Numerical simulation
