Abstract In order to optimize the flow field and promote the floating of inclusions, a six-flow T-shaped symmetrical tundish in a steel plant was taken as the object and the combined method of water model and numerical simulation was used to study the flow field characteristics of the tundish, and a dead volume model was established to characterize the flow of molten steel in the tundish, and propose improvement plans in a targeted manner. The results show that the prototype tundish has defects such as short molten steel residence time, inactive edge nozzles, and a dead zone volume fraction of up to 30.9%. There are a large number of “kinetic energy invalid zones” in the pouring process. It is optimized by adjusting the upward angle of the diversion holes of the U-shaped retaining wall. After optimization, the velocity distribution of the molten steel in the tundish is more uniform, the actual average residence time increases by 10.5 s, and the dead zone volume fraction decreases by 13.3%. The “kinetic energy invalid area” of the tundish is greatly reduced, the flow consistency of the nozzle is improved, and the overall mixing effect of the tundish is improved.
