Abstract [en]

This work examines the design of nozzles in continuous strip casting process. Three-dimensional (3D) simulations of steady turbulent (k-epsilon) flow are done at the upper part of the mould using a finite-volume (CFX) model. This is performed for different inlet systems, including the inlet nozzle jets with a free stream, the submerged nozzle jets, the slot inlet system, and the slot-submerged inlet system. The resulting heat flux to the solidifying shell has also been studied. Numerous operating parameters are examined, including the shape, size, position, and thickness of the ports and the bottom geometry. It is found that different inlet nozzle configurations change the molten flow and heat patterns, mainly in the upper region of the mould. By applying the slot nozzle inlet system, turbulence and values of the averaged velocity field in that area decrease significantly.
