ABSTRACTA mathematical representation has been developed for the electromagnetic force field, the fluid flow field, the temperature field (and for transport controlled kinetics) in a levitation melted metal droplet. The technique of mutual inductances was employed for the calculation of the electromagnetic force field, while the turbulent Navier-Stokes equations and the turbulent convective transport equations were used to represent the fluid flow field, the temperature field and the concentration field. The governing differential equations, written in spherical coordinates, were solved numerically.The computed results were found to be in good agreement with measurements reported in the literature, regarding the lifting force and the average temperature of the specimen.

As the heart of continuous caster, crystallizer is the cradle of most surface deficiencies and inside quality problems in steel blank. Steel blank surface quality, nonmetal impurity content and relevant distribution rely on the steel fluid solidification behavior namely steel fluid flow field distribution on great extent. For the high temperature steel fluid has big kinetic energy, so, the immixture dregs, solidification heat conduction, temperature field distribution in crystallizer, solidification blank shell thickness distribution and continuous caster blank quality were influenced by steel fluid flow. The numerical simulation analysis on flow field and temperature field in crystallizer were conducted in this paper. Three dimensions turbulent flow model was adopted to computate flow field. The heat conduction was ignored on draw blank direction in temperature field. The conjugate heat conduction model of ANSYS CFX was adopted to analyze temperature field, which can consider heat conduction in solid layer and convection heat conduction between solid shell face and fluid simultaneity. The draw blank velocity was found by setting crystallizer water gap insertion depth and crystallizer water gap angle, which can obtain reasonable flow field in blank crystallizer.

A study is pursued in this paper for the evaluation of the exact solution of the steady Navier–Stokes equation, governing the incompressible viscous Newtonian, electrically conducting fluid flow motion over a porous disk, rotating at a constant angular speed. The three-dimensional equations of motion are treated analytically yielding to the derivation of exact solutions. The effects of the magnetic pressure number on the permeable flow field are better conceived from the exact velocity and induced magnetic field obtained. Making use of this solution, analytical formulas for the angular velocity and current density components, as well as for the magnetic wall shear stresses, are extracted. Interaction of the resolved flow field with the surrounding temperature is then analyzed via energy equation. The temperature field is shown to accord with the convection, viscous dissipation, and Joule heating. As a result, exact formulas are obtained for the temperature field, which takes different forms, depending on whether isothermal and adiabatic wall conditions or suction and blowing are considered.

In the production process of large-diameter seamless steel pipes, the blank heating quality before roll piercing has an important effect on whether subsequently conforming piping is produced. Obtaining accurate pipe blank heating temperature fields is the basis for establishing and optimizing a seamless pipe heating schedule. In this paper, the thermal process in a regenerative heating furnace was studied using fluent software, and the distribution laws of the flow field in the furnace and of the temperature field around the pipe blanks were obtained and verified experimentally. The heating furnace for pipe blanks was analyzed from multiple perspectives, including overall flow field, flow fields at different cross sections, and overall temperature field. It was found that the changeover process of the regenerative heating furnace caused the temperature in the upper part of the furnace to fluctuate. Under the pipe blanks, the gas flow was relatively thin, and the flow velocity was relatively low, facilitating the formation of a viscous turbulent layer and thereby inhibiting heat exchange around the pipe blanks. The mutual interference between the gas flow from burners and the return gas from the furnace tail flue led to different flow velocity directions at different positions, and such interference was relatively evident in the middle part of the furnace. A temperature “layering” phenomenon occurred between the upper and lower parts of the pipe blanks. The study in this paper has some significant usefulness for in-depth exploration of the characteristics of regenerative heating furnaces for steel pipes.

The interaction between a fluid flow and a transversely isotropic porous medium is described. A homogenized model is used to treat the flow field in the porous region, and different interface conditions, needed to match solutions at the boundary between the pure fluid and the porous regions, are evaluated. Two problems in different flow regimes (laminar and turbulent) are considered to validate the system, which includes inertia in the leading-order equations for the permeability tensor through a Oseen approximation. The components of the permeability, which characterize microscopically the porous medium and determine the flow field at the macroscopic scale, are reasonably well estimated by the theory, both in the laminar and the turbulent case. This is demonstrated by comparing the model’s results to both experimental measurements and direct numerical simulations of the Navier–Stokes equations which resolve the flow also through the pores of the medium.

An inner-outer coupled cooling technology of molten steel for 1240×200mm slab continuous casting, that is to set an inner cooler—U shape pipes in the mold, is put forward in order to enhance the efficiency of transmitting heat and improve inner structure of billet. The flow status and solidification status of molten steel under coupling flow field and temperature field in inner-outer coupled cooling mold are simulated by using fluid dynamics software, and compare with those in traditional mold. It is found that setting inner cooler in the mold can make molten steel flow status even, which is favorable to floating up of the inclusion, quickening the solidification of steel liquid and improving the quality of billet.

This paper presents a theoretical study of the velocity field in the annulus formed between the Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) and the shroud of a Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) under normal and accident flow conditions. Simplified geometry and an ideal irrotational flow are assumed to solve the problem using velocity potentials.

Relative motion between grinding wheel and workpiece makes the lubricant film pressure formed by grinding fluid in the grinding area increase, consequently, dynamic pressure lubrication forms. The grinding fluid flow field mathematical model in smooth grinding area is established based on lubrication theory. The dynamic pressure of grinding fluid field, flow velocity and carrying capacity of lubricating film are calculated by the numerical analysis method. An analysis of effect of grinding fluid hydrodynamic on the total lifting force is performed, and the results are obtained.
