Three-dimensional modeling of hydrodynamic processes in twin-roll caster at various melt feeders
The three-dimensional mathematical model and computer technique are developed for computations of molten metal flowing in the gap of twin-roll caster at vertical melt feeding through the slit nozzle and pass nozzle of different variants. The computer modeling is carried out by finite-element method in Comsol. The features of metal flow in the caster including edge effects, closed vortex structures of the flow in central zone of the gap between rolls and in wide pass nozzle are studied using the computational results.
