In order to control the fluid flow in tundish and thus take full advantage of the residencetime available for the removal of inclusions from molten steel, the effect of weir and dam on thefluid flow has been studied in a water model based on the characteristic number Froude and Reynoldnumber similarity criteria. The residence time distribution curves of the flow were measured bySG800. The optimum arrangement of darn and weir and the nonstationary flow in tundish werediscussed. The results show that the combination of weir and dam is benefit for the flow pattern intundish, weir can prevent the upper recirculating flow, dam can cut off the bottom flow and turn toupwards, it is advantageous to separate the nonmetallic inclusions. Furthermore, it is important toexceed the critical depth of bath during exchange ladles, not only for the inclusion floatation butalso for avoiding tundish slag drainage earlier.展开更多

Comparing the RTD curves, inclusion separation, and the result of the streamline experiment, it can be found that the tundish equipped with weirs （dams） and a turbulence inhibitor has a great effect on the flow field and the inclusion separation when compared with the sole use or no use of the turbulent inhibitor or weirs （dams）. In addition, the enlargement of the distance between the weir and dam will result in a better effect when the tundish equipped with weirs （dam） and a turbulence inhibitor was used.展开更多

A water model of a multi-strand tundish hasbeen set up based on the Froude number and Reynold number similarity criteria. The effect ofdam+weir and baffle on the uniform of composition and temperature of bath for different nozzles hasbeen studied. The residence time distribution curves of the fluid flow were measured by SG800.Comparing the photos of the flow pattern in tundish, the optimum arrangement of baffle+dam wasobtained. This new structure is benefit not only to uniform the temperature among different SENs(submerge entry nozzles) but also to separate the non-inclusions from the liquid steel, it can bewidely used in multi-strand tundish.展开更多
