The paper presents the findings from physical and mathematical modeling of steel flow and mixing in two-strand continuous casting tundish, which is crucial for maintaining the quality of cast steel. The research examines the necessity for a new steel flow control system due to changes in slab assortment mandated by market conditions. To address limitations of the traditional baffles system that led to excessive lining wear, several types of turbulence inhibitors (TIs) were designed and tested. Experimental measurements and numerical simulations were conducted to obtain residence time distribution (RTD) curves, particularly of the F-type, which allowed the calculation of time constants for the various types of TIs. Additionally, E-type curves were developed, providing insights into the percentage distribution of different flow types, including dead volume flow and well-mixed volume flow. The research provides a comprehensive estimation of the impact of the designed TIs on tundish operation, highlighting their potential to optimize liquid steel flow and improve casting quality.
