The problem was treated as a complex and solved by the finite element method. The single-strand slab tundish is used to continuous casting slabs. The internal work space of the tundish was modified by the following flow control devices. The first device was a striker pad situated in the pouring tundish zone. The second device was a baffle with three holes and the third device was a baffle without hole. The main purpose of using these devices was to cause a quiet liquid mixing as well as give directional metal flow upwards which facilitated inclusion floatation. The interaction of flow control devices on hydrodynamic conditions was received from numerical simulation. As a result of the computations carried out, the liquid steel flow and steel temperature fields were obtained. The influence of the tundish modification on velocity fields in the liquid phase of steel was estimated, because these have an essential influence on high quality of a continuous steel cast slab.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Numerical Modelling of Fluid Flow and Thermal Phenomena in the Tundish of CSC Machine}, URL={http://ochroma.man.poznan.pl/Content/87895/PDF/23_paper.pdf}, doi={10.2478/afe-2014-0023}, keywords={solidification process, Application of information technology to the foundry industry, Continuous casting tundish, Moltenmetal flow}, }
