The methods to decide the size of wall-adjacent grids and the effects of residuals and mesh size on the simulation accuracy are discussed. The current investigation concludes that the following condition should be satisfied to get accurate enough simulation results: (1) If the dimension of the domain is in the order of cubic meters, the average size of cells in the mesh system should be at least smaller than 30 mm; (2) The normalized non-scaled residual should be reached at least smaller than 10-4.展开更多

Compared with a device withoutflow control, the tundish with flow control has an important effect on the fluid flow pattern andinclusion removal. It is revealed that by non-isothermal process, which is real productioncondition, the fluid flow in tundish shows a strong buoyancy pattern, which drives particles to moveupwards. The particle removal was quantitatively studied by mathematical and physical simulations.展开更多
