摘要
针对板坯连铸过程中,结晶器内钢水在行波磁场(电磁搅拌)作用下的流动行为,采用水银作为模拟工质进行模型实验,并结合基于流场雷诺应力模型的数值模拟,分析钢水的流动规律及其对连铸工艺的影响.研究结果显示,施加行波磁场(电磁搅拌)时,结晶器内钢水注流的对称性发生了改变,进流被电磁力推向一侧,在结晶器内形成全区域的水平环流,破坏了通常钢水注流所呈现的规律性上下环流;在结晶器上部近液面区域内,水口两侧的环流分别被压缩到靠近水口或窄面的位置,从而使结晶器内流场趋于紊乱的三维流态;同时,液面波动幅度增大,在钢水注流与电磁力反向的一侧,液面波动更加剧烈.
This paper presents a mercury model experiment and coupling numerical simulation with Reynolds time-average model on molten metal flow in the mold of continuous casting of slab. The purpose is to study the influence of a traveling magnetic field(electromagnetic stirring) on the metal flow in the mold. The result shows that, in the mold,the stirring force from the traveling electromagnetic field makes the molten metal form a horizontal circumfluence, leading to destroy of the originally regular circumfluence. In the whole mold, the flow is three dimensional and non-symmetrical. Furthermore, the traveling magnetic field strengthens fluctuation of meniscus. The fluctuation is stronger on the side where the nozzle flow is opposite to the electromagnetic force.
