Aspherix® and CFDEM®coupling allow for the high-fidelity simulation of complex fluid-particle interactions within the continuous casting mold. By integrating advanced solvers for steel flow and argon bubble dynamics, engineers can accurately model the behavior of inclusions under the influence of electromagnetic fields and turbulent flow. This integrated workflow enables the precise prediction of bubble entrapment and non-metallic inclusion distribution, providing a predictive digital twin that allows R&D managers to optimize nozzle designs and significantly reduce surface defects in the final product.
The setup is inspired by Wang et all. 2024 (Entrapment behavior of argon bubbles and non-metallic inclusions under combined magnetic fields in slab continuous casting).
