Mathematical Modeling on Optimization of Submerged Entry Nozzle for an Ultra-Thick Slab Continuous Casting Mold

To optimize the submerged entry nozzle (SEN) for an ultra-thick slab mold, a mathematical model has been established. The molten steel flow and solidification, inclusion transports, and meniscus fluctuation have been investigated through the model. Compared with the concave-bottom SEN cases, the con...
