Abstract EN
This work evaluates the performance of a novel design for a bifurcated submerged entry nozzle (SEN) used for the continuous casting of steel slabs.
The proposed design incorporates fluid flow conditioners attached on SEN external wall.
The fluid flow conditioners impose a pseudosymmetric pattern in the upper zone of the mold by inhibiting the fluid exchange between the zones created by conditioners.
The performance of the SEN with fluid flow conditioners is analyzed through numerical simulations using the CFD technique.
Numerical results were validated by means of physical simulations conducted on a scaled cold water model.
Numerical and physical simulations confirmed that the performance of the proposed SEN is superior to a traditional one.
Fluid flow conditioners reduce the liquid free surface fluctuations and minimize the occurrence of vortexes at the free surface.
