Inclusion Behavior in a Curved Bloom Continuous Caster with Mold Electromagnetic Stirring

Mold electromagnetic stirring (M-EMS) has been widely used in many continuous casters.In order to have a deep insight into the collision-coalescence among inclusions under M-EMS by a Eulerian approach, the effects of Archimedes electromagnetic force on the inclusion are expressed by three-dimensional Jars Archimedes electromagnetic slipping velocity and Archimedes electromagnetic collision.Numerical results show that a turbulent collision is the most important factor to cause inclusions to collide with each other, Archimedes electromagnetic collision has a minor effect, Stokes collision is the third factor, Building Set and Brownian can be ignored.In the case of M-EMS, there are two recirculation zones above and below the M-EMS central cross-section, and the inclusion spatial distributions have the inverted U-shape.
