Abstract
A significant influence on stability of the process of filling the CCM mold with liquid metal is exerted by the structural and technological schemes and designs of used devices, modes and parameters of filling the mold with the melt. All this is due to the features of the devices used and the improvement of their design. The high requirements for such devices have determined the need to create new devices designs to reduce the time spent on preparation for work and maintenance and to improve the quality of resulting metal billets. In scientific literature, including patents, more and more articles and materials are devoted to the development of new and improvement of the existing methods of supplying and stirring liquid metal in CCM and devices for their implementation. Experimental studies of liquid metal flow in CCM are a long, complex and laborious process. Therefore, mathematical modeling by numerical methods is increasingly used for this purpose. The authors have proposed a new technology for pouring liquid metal into a mold and a device for its implementation due to the use of effect of a deep-bottom submersible nozzle rotating in the mold with eccentric outlet holes. The purpose of this work is to simulate by proven numerical method a new process of filling a rectangular CCM mold with liquid steel and stirring it. Based on the developed numerical schemes and algorithms, a calculation program was compiled. The article describes an example of calculating the steel casting into a mold of rectangular cross-section and flow diagrams of liquid metal in it.
