Abstract

High-efficiency converter steelmaking is still a hot topic in steel industry. In the present work, a coupled Eulerian-multifluid VOF-granular flow model was developed to study the particle transport phenomenon in top–bottom-blown converter with bottom powder injection, and effect of the bubble-induced turbulence and solids shear stresses on particle transport phenomenon in converter are investigated. Simulation results were compared with experimental data obtained by high-speed camera and particle concentration meter to verify accuracy of the model. The fundamental phenomena such as motion and distribution of particle are described satisfactorily, and the effects of bubble-induced turbulence and solids shear stresses on distributions of particle concentration and velocity and liquid turbulent energy are evaluated. The results show that granular kinetic viscosity has a significant effect on prediction of particle volume fraction, in which particle concentration is predicted successfully with Gidaspow model. Granular bulk viscosity and frictional viscosity dominate the particle transport behavior in free motion region, and frictional pressure correction factor Cfr, which indicates fraction of effective particle frictional pressure, should be 0.9. Radial distribution function affects simulation results, especially in dense region of particle concentration distribution, and Lun model obtains the best agreement with experimental data. Bubble-induced turbulence affects particle distribution and can predict particle volume fraction more accurately.
