Abstract:A mathematical model for solving the fluid flow, heat transfer and solidification in the mold of a wide slab mold is developed to relatively investigate the transport behaviors under the given conditions such as submerged entry nozzle (SEN),slab width and thickness, casting speed, etc. The results show that with the slab width increases from 1 800 mm to 2 200 mm, the impinging jet from SEN side ports extends further to the lower of the mold. The geometrical structure of the SEN obviously affects the flow and solidification behavior of wide slab mold in conditions of different slab sizes and casting speed. It is necessary to perform the optimization of SEN structure and operation parameters in a practical industrial wide slab production according to the fluid flow and heat transfer features in the wide slab mold by numerical simulation.
