Abstract
Electromagnetic stirring with segment roller in the secondary cooling zone is a very important metallurgical technology for the continuous casting of the ultra-wide slab. Thus, numerical simulation is applied to investigate magnetohydrodynamic flow and solidification in the continuous caster with strand electromagnetic stirring. Numerical results showed that, the predicted values agree well with the experimental data. If the electromagnetic stirring roller with the symmetric split structure forms the symmetric magnetic field, there are the symmetric electromagnetic force, the symmetric flow field and the symmetric solidified shell. If the single electromagnetic stirring roller with the symmetric split structure forms the symmetric electromagnetic force, the flow field is like a butterfly. If the two electromagnetic stirring rollers forms the symmetric electromagnetic force, the flow field is like two butterflies. The effect of strand electromagnetic stirring on the fluid flow in the mold can not be ignored in the case of SSR (Same direction for upper rollers, Same direction for lower roller, Reverse direction for relation between upper/lower rollers), and it can be ignored in the case of NAS (No upper rollers, Away direction for lower roller, Single roller for relation between upper/lower rollers) and CAR (Close direction for upper rollers, Away direction for lower roller, Reverse direction for relation between upper/lower rollers).
