Optimization of Oxygen Injection Conditions with Different Molten Steel Levels in the EAF Refining Process by CFD Simulation

In electric arc furnace (EAF) steelmaking, oxygen jets play a crucial role in controlling stirring ability, chemical reactions, and energy consumption. During the EAF lifetime, refractory wear leads to a decrease in the molten steel level and an increase in the nozzle-to-steel distance, thereby nega...
