    Influence of immersion depth of ladle shroud in liquid steel on range of transition zone for one-strand tundish during continuous casting of steel
    (Wydawnictwa AGH, 2017) Bartosiewicz, Michał; Cwudziński, Adam
    This article presents the results of a computer simulation of the flow of liquid steel through a onestrand tundish. In this paper, we examine four immersion depths of a ladle shroud in liquid steel. The simulation was performed for a sequence of slab castings. The effect of the calculations were residence time distribution curves (RTD), type (F). Based on the distribution curves, the range of the transition zone for the different variants of the immersion depth of a ladle shroud were estimated. Based on the results of numerical calculations, it was found that increasing the immersion depth of the ladle shroud in liquid steel influences the range of the transition zone. For numerical simulations of the flow of liquid steel, the Ansys-Fluent program was used.
