Abstract:

In this paper, the internal flow field of RH degasser was studied by numerical simulation. The range of the reasonable gas-inlet velocity which is related to the lift gas flow rate was obtained, then the results of two different gas-inlet velocities which are the reasonable velocity and the unreasonable velocity were chosen to be analyzed. Many vortexes and some differences of the flow fields were found in the RH degasser with the two different velocities. Through these results the development of the flow field could be got and it is valuable for the production in factory.
