22 Conclusions 1. The developed Lagrangian-Lagrangian multiphase model can predict the fluid flow, inclusion motion and mixing in vessels of this continuous steelmaking process 2. Without gas injection - Generating short circuiting flow pattern (from the inlet launder quickly and directly to the outlet launder), very detrimental for the process. - The inlet jet impinges strongly against the shallow bottom of the inlet launder, so possible splashing and erosion of the refractory bricks - Possible improvement: making the outlet launder not align directly across the vessel from the inlet. Univ. of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Metals Processing Simulation Lab L. Zhang, 2004, 22
23 Conclusions 3. With gas injection - Generating a strong recirculation in the whole height of the vessel. - Particles recirculate a long time,good for reactions. 4. Useful researches for this project (now and future): - Solute mixing (such as alloy dissolution) (done by L. Zhang and J.Aoki for gas stirred ladles) - Reactions such as deoxidation, impurity element and inclusion removal, depending on mixing phenomena at the interface of slag / metal and gas/metal. - Modeling inclusion nucleation, growth, collision (done by Lifeng ) and interact with gas bubbles (done by Lifeng and Jun Aoki in gas stirred ladles) - Investigating the emulsification of the top slag Univ. of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Metals Processing Simulation Lab L.
