Abstract
In the current study, the fluid flow and thermal stratification during the holding period are numerically simulated. The standard k–ε two-equation turbulence model is adopted to describe the turbulence. The trajectories of inclusions are calculated by the discrete phase model (DPM) considering the stochastic effect of turbulence. Two different initial conditions for the flow field are compared: the quiescent state of flow and the fluid flow induced by gas stirring. Significant differences are observed between these cases. In practice, the holding period starts from the shut-off of the gas blowing. Thus, it is proposed that the flow field at the terminal of gas stirring should be considered for the simulation of the fluid flow, heat transfer, and inclusion motion during the holding period.
