Item The influence of the geometry of a three orifice nozzle on the flowfield inside a beam blank mold.(2017) Gabriel, Weslei Viana; Peixoto, Johne Jesus Mol; Silva, Ciro Azevedo; Silva, Carlos Antônio da; Silva, Itavahn Alves da; Seshadri, VaradarajanA single nozzle design with three lateral ports has been proposed to feed a beam blank mold. Techniquesof physical modeling and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) were applied to evaluate the fluid flowas a function of port angle, immersion depth and flow rate. The overall features of the flow field are notaffected by changing the values of these parameters. The proposed design is characterized by: increasingfluctuation intensity at the meniscus and high impact velocities in certain regions of the broad face of theflanges. The oscillation intensity increases with decreasing immersion depth, increasing inclination of theexit ports, and increasing flow rates. These values vary also along the free surface of the mold, being largeron the flange opposite to the submerged entry nozzle (SEN) for all configurations. The impact velocitiesat the flange were affected only by the flow rate, reaching a maximum value of 0.45 m/s.Item Computational and physical simulation of fluid flow inside a beamblank continuous casting mold.(2016) Peixoto, Johne Jesus Mol; Gabriel, Weslei Viana; Ribeiro, Leticia Queiroz; Silva, Carlos Antônio da; Silva, Itavahn Alves da; Seshadri, VaradarajanThe main features of the flow field inside a beam blank continuous casting mold have been assessedthrough mathematical and physical modeling techniques. Experimental techniques such as particle dis-persion through addition of dye and particle image velocimetry have been used in a physical model of themold to assess the flow pattern. Different combinations of nozzle geometry and throughput have beenemployed and the experimental results have been analyzed. In the case of two tubular nozzles, whichshould ensure good thermal and flow symmetry, six vortices were observed in the mold, two near theweb and two in each of the flanges. Increasing the flow rate of the fluid from 100 L/min to 150 L/minleads to a change from 0.74 m to 0.84 m in the jet penetration depth. However even a 67% increase ofthe nozzle cross section did not affect this parameter significantly. Experiments with one single tubularnozzle (53.2 mm inside diameter) were also carried out and the resulting flow asymmetry has been char-acterized. The difference in the fluid velocities at the filets could lead to unequal solid shell growth. Thedepth of jet penetration is larger than mold nominal length (0.8 m). Fluid flow structure as determinedby PIV measurements and CFD simulations show a good agreement.
