Abstract��The flow characteristic and temperature characteristic of steel liquid in tundish at asymmetric casting were studied using SolidWorks, ANSYS, etc.It has an important impact on flow field in tundish for asymmetry casting of conticaster, which can lead to the change of tundish temperature distribution. When a strand of conticaster on one side is closed, the flow rate of steel liquid can be reduced and more backflow regions can be formed in this side of tundish. Simultaneously, the region of lower temperature steel liquid in middle part of tundish moves to the other side obviously, and the phenomenon is more noteworthy when an edge strand of conticaster is closed.
