Dynamics of argon bubbles in steel continuous casting with a magnetic field
This project aims to mathematically model multiphase flow in the steel continuous casting in order to gain increased understanding and practical insights to improve this important commercial process. Specifically, Large Eddy Simulations of turbulent fluid flow are conducted to investigate the dynamic motion of argon bubbles in the caster with different casting conditions such as electro-magnetic braking (EMBr), in order to minimize inclusion entrapment. The present work quantifies how the oscillations of the shape and velocity of the rising bubbles can be damped with the application of a static external magnetic field.
