Objective
The objective of this research is to improve continuously cast steel product quality by using the results of second generation numerical models and physical models which are designed to produce more accurate and relevant modelling of multiphase interactions in the mould. Detailed investigations will be undertaken to develop improved descriptions of boundary conditions, turbulence models, multiphase flow, inclusion capture, emulsifications of flux, etc., which can be used directly or indirectly in numerical simulations or in design calculations. Physical modelling incorporating laser Doppler velocimetry and other advanced techniques will be used to check the numerical simulation methods. Plant trials will be undertaken to test recommendations for optimised casting conditions.
