Abstract
Tundish is a critical part involved in the continuous casting process, which ensures the constant flow of liquid metal and with performing different functions. In odd-numbered multistrand tundish, the confirmation consistency of the fluid flow among all the strands is one of major concerns. In this study, five-strand tundish with a set of weirs and a baffle is utilized for investigation concerning fluid flow parameters and inclusion removal analysis. The simulation is carried out in ANSYS FLUENT 19.2 software through the defined numerical model, and the experimental analysis is performed on a scaled physical water model through tracer injection. Four different baffles are designed along with two different types of turbulence inhibiter for the tundish to enhance the fluid flow parameters and inclusion removal rates. The inclusion sizes were varied from 10 to 100 µm with a difference of 20 µm respectively for studying the inclusion removal rate concerning inclusion sizes. From the outcomes obtained like the residence time distribution (RTD) curves and others, it was concluded that the fourth baffle version with the first turbulence inhibiter, which are equipped in tundish version TV8 is the most beneficial tundish version for the enhancement in fluid flow and inclusion removal rates as compared to other tundish versions in this study.
