Numerical Analysis of Blast Furnace Taphole Stream Effect on the Slag-Metal Separation

Abstract:

Gas-liquid two phase flow of blast furnace taphole stream into the main trough is studied through computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method. Tapping process of blast furnace with different taphole angles is simulated by volume of fluid model of CFD. The velocity and region of taphole stream into flow within the main trough is analyzed. It is concluded that the tophole case with bigger angle is conducive to slag-metal separation in the main trough.
