Computer Simulation of the Inclusion Removal Behavior in the Tundish and Model Evaluation

Abstract:

Computer simulation was applied to study the inclusion behavior in the tundish with Lagrangian particle tracking model including both the deterministic and random walk model. Comparing with the experiment result, the prediction result revealed that random walk model obtained more accuracy than the deterministic walk model by considering the effect of turbulence fluctuation on the inclusion movement. The accuracy of inclusion motion simulation was determined by the turbulence model and boundary condition.
