Understanding and reducing defects formed during continuous casting of steel are
challenging because of the many inter-related, multiscale phenomena and process …

This article presents a comprehensive and critical review of slag entrainment in continuous
casting molds. Entrainment is one of the main sources of inclusions in the final product, and …

Undesirable flow variations can cause severe instabilities at the interface between liquid
mold flux and molten steel across the mold top-region during continuous steel casting …

In the current study, a three-dimensional mathematical model, combining the large eddy
simulation (LES) turbulent model, volume of fluid (VOF) multiphase model, and discrete …

In steel continuous casting with submerged entry nozzles at a domestic steel plant, nozzle
clogging was largely alleviated and defect rates of hot-rolled and cold-rolled sheets relating …

Unstable mold flow could induce surface velocity and level fluctuations, and entrain slag,
leading to surface defects during continuous casting of steel. Both argon gas injection and …

Transient mold flow could produce undesirable surface instabilities and slag entrainments,
leading to the formation of defects during continuous slab casting of steel. In this work, two …

A transient, three-dimensional mathematical model has been developed to study the slag
entrapment in a continuous casting mold. The unsteady turbulent flow is computed using the …

Computational simulations and high-temperature measurements of velocities near the
surface of a mold were carried out by using the rod deflection method to study the effects of …

The fluid flow of liquid steel in a wide slab mold (1880× 230 mm) influenced by two different
submerged entry nozzle (SEN) designs (bifurcated nozzles with rectangular, SEN-R, vs …
