Flow stabilization and coating thickness reduction through use of multi-slot air-knife in gas jet wiping
Abstract
This paper investigates the gas jet wiping process, which is widely employed for controlling the final zinc-alloy coating thickness of a moving steel strip in the continuous hot-dip galvanizing process. In this study, large eddy simulation (LES) was employed to determine the effect of lower velocity symmetric auxiliary jets on main jet stabilization and coating thickness reduction during the gas jet wiping process. For validation purposes, …
