Numerical analysis of inclusion motion behavior in electroslag remelting process

In order to understand the movement of the inclusion in electroslag remelting (ESR) process, a transient three-dimensional (3D) comprehensive mathematical model has been established. The finite volume method was employed to solve the mass, momentum and energy conservation equations as well as the Maxwell’s equations. The volume of fluid (VOF) approach was used to define the redistribution of the metal and the slag. The inclusion trajectory was...
