SUMMARY:Perfomance optimization of six strand billet caster tundish using CFD analysis
DESCRIPTION:The objective of this study was to simulate the fluid flow performance of billet caster tundish using a mathematical model in order to optimize the tundish furniture style and location for best steel quality and/or effective flow control. A six-strand billet caster tundish presents various challenges such as being able to maintain the same casting temperature, homogenous chemistry and similar steel cleanliness in every strand. These challenges make the fluid flow phenomenon in a six-strand tundish more complex. The fluid flow characteristics and tundish performance were derived by performing the Residence Time Distribution (RTD) analysis.
The model was developed successfully to simulate the flow characteristic and pattern inside the tundish. The simulation results were validated against the literature. The RTD analysis drove the conclusion that removing the current used flow modifier impact piece would help to enhance the discharging rate and reduce the dead volume zone inside the tundish. This then would enhance maintaining the molten steel temperature homogeneity during casting process.
