Evaluation of stirring in electric arc furnaces
Abstract
Numerical flow simulation of a steel bath covered with slag was performed to evaluate the stirring effect from different gas sources. This is the first time that the VOF model was applied to modeling of the free surface for oxygen lancing in an EAF. The results indicate that the surface of liquid steel can rise considerably from the lifting effect of rising bubbles, whereas the slag surface is virtually flat.
