Abstract A three-dimensional mathematical model was established to investigate the behavior of molten steel flow and steel/slag interface with different processes and electromagnetic parameters under two different static magnetic field configurations [ruler-type electromagnetic brake (EMBr ruler) and vertical electromagnetic brake (V-EMBr)] in a continuous casting mold. The results showed that the brake effect of EMBr ruler is significantly influenced by its configuration parameters, the distance between the pole and bottom of the submerged entry nozzle (SEN), and the port angle of the SEN outlet; therefore, it is not helpful to depress the diffusion of jet flow along the thickness direction of mold. For a constant SEN depth and port angle, there is a reasonable pole position (P = 0 mm) where the pole simultaneously covers three key zones, i.e., the jet flow impact zone and the upward and downward backflow zones. For V-EMBr, the magnetic field can simultaneously cover the three key zones and depress the diffusion of jet flow along the casting and thickness directions of the mold. Both the meniscus height and the impact intensity of the jet flow can be obviously depressed by V-EMBr even if the SEN depth and port angle have changed in the continuous casting process.
