In Rotating Continuous Casting (RCC), the vertical billet, the mould and the support rolls rotate at about 1 rotation/sec. The mould is fed by a liquid steel free plunging jet. A numerical modeling of the RCC has been developed. The aim of this article is to study the effects of the free plunging jet and of the rotation on the fluid flow, the thermal state, the solidification and on the particles motion. The modeling of the RCC uses a level-set method to capture the interface between the liquid steel and argon. A stabilized Navier-Stokes method is used to compute the fluid flow. A stabilized thermal solver is used to study the thermal field and the solidification of steel. A Euler-Lagrange approach is used to solve the motion of argon bubbles and inclusions. Hydrodynamics and particles motion are confronted to observations made on a cold water model. All developed methods are validated and applied to the RCC.
