Abstract:Clogging of submerged entry nozzle (SEN) during continuous casting of steel is an undesirable phenomenon leading to different problems like flow blockage, slag entrainment, nonuniform solidification, etc. A transient numerical model for nozzle clogging based on an Eulerian-Lagrangian approach was developed and it covers the main steps of clogging: (a) formation of the first oxide layer by chemical reactions on the steel-refractory interface; (b) motion of non-metallic inclusions (NMIs) due to the turbulent mel… Show more
