The coagulation time and position of micro-sized non-metallic inclusions in molten metal during ultrasonic separation process were investigated, and the motion course of micro-sized non-metallic inclusions in an ultrasonic standing wave field was numerically simulated. The results of theoretical analysis and numerical simulation show that the movement of inclusions depends on the balance between the acoustic radiation force, effective buoyancy force and viscous drag force. It is presented that micro-sized inclusions, agglomerated at antinode-planes may be removed further with horizon tal ultrasound.

A coupled model including electromagnetic field, fluid dynamic, heat transfer and so-lidification, is developed and applied to the numerical simulation of steel flow andsolidification in a 100mm× 100mm soft-contact mold. In this study, the 3D finite dif-ference method and n, on-staggered grid system for fluid flow with body fitted coordinatewere employed. Numerical results show that the electromagnetic force mainly affectsthe steel flow at upper part of mold, especially in the vicinity of meniscus. There existupward flows covering the surfaces of the billet due to the concentration of electro-magnetic force on the upper part of the billet. This flows join together and form adownward flow near the SEN, so a distinct circulating flow zone is formed at upperpart of mold. After applying electromagnetic force, the steel velocity is improved andthe temperature is raised. The strong stirring of electromagnetic force on liquid steelmakes the kinetic energy on free surface increase. It is clearly seen that the solidifi-cation start point shifts downward in soft contact mold. As a result, the initial shellthickness gets thin and the initial solidification shell length is shortened.

In order to know the distribution of magnetic field in a novel flow control of mold(NFC Mold) and to provide the experimental data for the electromagnetic structuredesign and the analysis of flow control in continuous casting mold, the magnetic fieldin a NFC Mold were measured by Tesla meter of Model CT-3. The method of vectorsynthesis was adopted in the measurement of magnetic fields. The results showed thatthe magnetic field in the NFC Mold was composed of two main magnetic areas thatwere symmetrical. Although there was leaking magnetic flux between the lower surfaceof the upper pole and the upper surface of the lower pole on the sides, it was restrainedby the main magnetic fields effectively. Therefore the NFC Mold was more preferablysatisfied to be used in controlling the molten steel flow in continuous casting mold.

A mathematical model has been developed to analyze the flow patterns and subsurface trajectories of spherical shaped particles (alloy additions) in gas stirring ladles. First,a numerical method to solve fluid flow problems in conjunction with a curvilinear coordinate system is proposed. The internal boundary in flow field, which must be designated in the cylindrical polar coordinate system, can be avoided by using bodyfitted coordinate system (BFC). Consequently, computed flow of molten steel and paths of alloying additions are able to cross smoothly the geometric centerline of cylindrical vessel. Second, motion of particles is calculated in the three-dimensional coordinate system, the modification of parameters, such as the drag coefficient and density in the gas plume region, is examined. When the density of sphere is closer and closer to that of fluid, the path of motion is longer and longer. If the plug is moved off-centered to the half of radius, the path of sphere is prolonged, and the sphere may go through the geometric centerline of vessel, reach the deeper region. The immersed depths increase with increasing entry velocities.

The three-dimensional electromagnetic characteristics and non-uniform distribution of electromagnetic field in soft-contact mold have been analyzed by numerical simulation. The results show that the maximum electromagnetic flux density is found in front of slit; the electromagnetic flux density becomes large as coil current and slit number increase. In a certain frequency range, the electromagnetic flux density increases with increasing frequency; and the frequency range is different with changing of azimuthal position along inner wall of mold. The uniformity of electromagnetic field is effected mainly by frequency and mold structure parameters. Increasing slit number and adjusting slit arrangement position can improve the electromagnetic flux density and the uniformity of electromagnetic field. For a soft-contact mold with 16 slits, when frequency is 20kHz, the optimal slit arrangement parameter is a: b = 1: 2.c＝0.
