Abstract

The following contribution focuses on the secondary cooling zone of a slab caster, analyzing the effects of nozzle parameters on cooling conditions. The research group employs experimental measurements, including the Nozzle Measuring Stand (NMS), to determine local heat transfer coefficients (HTC) and water distribution. These measurements are crucial for accurately setting the boundary conditions in the simulation. The implementation of these boundary conditions is realized by an Exponential Gaussian Process Regression (EGPR) to predict HTC values. The results highlight the importance of an accurate HTC assessment in regions with overlapping sprays. The developed methodology aids in enhancing the precision of simulations for continuous casting processes, contributing to a better product quality and process efficiency using the non-commercial software platform “m2CAST”.
