Abstract

GOLDSCHMIT, M B.; FERRO, S. P.; PRINCIPE, R. J.  and  COPPOLA OWEN, A. H.. On the modelling of liquid steel processes. Lat. Am. appl. res. [online]. 2002, vol.32, n.3, pp. 267-273. ISSN 0327-0793.

An iterative (k-L)-predictor / (e )- corrector algorithm that models turbulent flow was developed in previous publications. In this paper, the 3D finite element turbulent model was used to analyze the liquid steel movement produced by gravity force, inert gas stirring or electromagnetic force stirring.

Keywords : turbulence model; continuous casting process; k-e turbulent model; industrial fluid dynamic applications.
