Simulation on Agglomeration of Liquid Inclusion Particles in Steel Based on VOF Model

Abstract:

The Micro agglomeration process of liquid inclusion particles in static steel was simulated based on VOF model of fluent software. The results were indicated that: two liquid inclusion particles, which are apart from a certain surface distance, can aggregate into a larger new inclusion particle; in order to promote liquid inclusion particles aggregate and accelerate inclusions flotation to be removed, the following measures can be taken: shortening the inclusion particle surface spacing, reducing the steel viscosity and controlling the composition of liquid inclusion in high interfacial tension area.
