The continuous casting process is critical for the production of steel forms such as blooms, billets, and slabs, yet it faces numerous issues including element segregation, porosity, oscillation marks, and internal cracks. This study aims to optimize the continuous casting process by focusing on the behavior of steel and its interaction with slag flux in the mould. A numerical model was developed to visualize the dynamics of slag flux on the steel surface under non-standard casting conditions, specifically examining scenarios with limited immersion of the submerged entry nozzle. The results indicate that the hydrodynamic patterns formed in the mould substantially influence the motion of the steel, leading to potential vortex formations that can integrate slag into the molten steel. Exceeding critical steel velocities can further promote the entrainment of slag drops into the steel, necessitating a comprehensive understanding of these interactions for improved process control. The insights gained from this numerical simulation provide a foundation for enhancing the stability of the continuous casting operation and mitigating common defects associated with the process.
