Abstract
Based on the basic theory of fluid mechanics,the κ-e turbulence model of the commercial software fluent was used to realize the three-dimensional mathematical simulation of molten steel in mold.The effects of technological parameters such as nozzles shape,submerged depth of nozzles,side-hole angle and the casting speed,on the mold steel flow field were emphatically investigated.Results showed that for 1 280 mm×180 mm slab mold,flow field was better when the submerged depth of nozzles was 150 mm,side-hole angle was under 15°,and the casting speed was 1 m/min.
