宽板坯连铸结晶器流场的数值模拟

针对某钢厂150 mm×1503 mm宽板坯连铸结晶器生产中出现的表面波动及卷渣情况,利用FLUENT软件对其进行了三维稳态数学计算.计算以流体表面流速为主要衡量指标,研究了出水口的倾斜角度、倒角形状对该水口作用下结晶器内流场的影响.计算结果表明,原型结晶器浸入式水口作用下,流场内的表面流速大,射流冲击深度小,液面波动大,卷渣严重.改变出水口的倾斜角度,结晶器内表面流速依旧较大,依然有较严重的卷渣现象发生.改用方案3出水口倒角形状改为相切后,表面流速由原型最大的0.6 m/s减小到0.2 m/s,冲击深度增加,流场改善,卷渣问题得到解决.

Numerical simulation of the flow field in a wide slab continuous casting mold

The surface fluctuation and slag entrapment involved in the wide slab continuous casting mold of 150 mmí1503 mm in a steel plant was caculated by FLUENT software. Surface velocity was set as the main measure to study about port angle and guide an-gular shape of the nozzle influence on flow field. The calculation results show that under the condition of original nozzle, the surface velocity was large, but the impact depth was small and the fluctuation was severe. Entrapment of slag was serious. After changed the angle of the outlet, the mold surface velocity remained large and severe entrapment of slag. When scheme 3 ( outlet lead angle changed shape to tangent) was applied, surface velocity reduced from 0. 6 m/s to 0. 2 m/s, impact depth improved, flow field character became better, and problem of slag entrapment was resolved.
