Abstract

In this paper, simulation of the flow field in tundish is established by ProCAST. The results show that the deeper liquid level is beneficial to the flow stable. Compared with the tundish with baffle, the disturbance of molten steel without baffle is stronger than that with baffle in both bottom flow and free surface. The baffle can effectively limit the disturbance of molten steel near the submerged nozzle. Compared with the ordinary baffle, the kinetic energy diffusion of the liquid steel on the left side of the perforated baffle is more sufficient.
