An experimental and numerical study on the modelling of fluid flow, heat transfer and solidification in a copper continuous strip casting process

An experimental and “numerical study (first part of this study) was carried out to investigate the solidification process in a copper continuous strip casting process. The model has been tuned by results (i.e. cooling water flow measurements, temperature measurements metallographic analysis). Further, have used possibility improved productivity. In report (second pattern molten during as manufacturing method studied using full-scale model. dynamic similarity between real system studied. Six different types inlet mould studied: nozzle jets with free stream, submerged jets, slot-submerged system, semi submerged-slot finally jet killer. Moreover, effects angle, diameter, speed, tundish adjustment misalignment on investigated. vortex formation bubble entrainment, depending upon configuration, immersion depth fluid level also It found that killer arrangement showed an obvious improvement characteristics, yielding better tracer distribution pattern, lower values back mixing flow, turbulence recirculation flow.
