Abstract

According to the actual operating parameters of tundish in a steel mill, the flow pattern and temperature distribution of molten steel in tundish were studied by CFD and heat transfer calculation method. Changing the height of parapet hole, the effect of parapet hole on flow field and temperature field were simulated. The simulation results show that: the parapet hole height has large influence on flow recirculation position, which can impact surface temperature and outflow temperature of molten steel. When parapet hole height increases, the recirculation vortex moves towards the surface of molten steel in outflow zone, surface temperature rises, but outflow temperature decreases near the narrow wall. Comprehensive analysis show that, when the parapet hole height is 480mm, surface temperature is high, molten steel will not solidify at corner; the reduction of molten steel temperature is small at outflow hole.
