Abstract The electromagnetic field and flow analysis model were developed to simulate the electromagnetic field and the flow pattern in a vertical curved continuous slab caster with the in-roll type strand electromagnetic stirring. The transient electromagnetic field distribution and the induced electromagnetic force were numerically described. The effects of stirring current, stirring frequency, and different stirrer configurations on the electromagnetically driven flow field in the strand were investigated and the optimization of the stirring parameters was discussed by performing a relative comparison of numerical results. Results show that the in-roller type strand electromagnetic stirrer (S-EMS) pair generates the fluctuating magnetic fields, penetrating through the cast slab and periodically parallel shifting along the slab wide face with time evolution. The transient induced electromagnetic forces travels toward the magnetic flux shifting direction. Different stirring parameters (i.e. current and frequency) and stirrer configurations affect the stirring strength and the flow recirculation pattern in the strand, which are closely related to metallurgical performances of the stirrers. There is an optimum frequency to obtain the maximum stirring. The present model provides a relatively theoretical insight into the in-roll type strand electromagnetic stirring system for best operating.
