We derive a fluid-dynamics model to describe high-volume steel rolling processes. We model steel rolling as a particle game where each particle corresponds to a piece of steel at a certain production stage. Based on a stochastic interpretation of the particle game we derive a kinetic equation as well as fluid-like limiting equations under suitable scaling of time. Numerical results on the fluid-like equation are presented.
