Research Status of Numerical Simulation on LF Furnace Refining Ladle

Abstract

The research status of numerical simulation on LF furnace refining ladle is introduced in this paper.Since 1970, the research on the gas-liquid two-phase region has begun.Szekely began to be simulated by mathematical model and physical experiment method of flow phenomena in ladle in early 1975. It is the first time that the numerical model is introduced to study the refining process of steel. The plume model is presented by Xiao Zeqiang in 1980, then the numerical simulation began to develop rapidly.
