A mathematical model was developed to study the effects of the vortex and the short circuit flow phenomena during tundish operation on the inclusion removal for a wide range of particle diameters. The model was solved using FLUENT commercial software; for particle tracking, the Lagrangian discrete phase model was employed. The results indicated that while vortexes can drag approximately 50% of the inclusions present, the short circuit flow was identified as the most detrimental phenomenon affecting inclusion removal. Notably, it was found that as the tundish level increases, the global inclusion removal rate decreases significantly. Consequently, an important conclusion drawn from the study is that increasing the tundish's capacity without making appropriate adjustments to the flow control devices can lead to a substantial deterioration in steel cleanliness.
