Electromagnetic stirring in mold (M-EMS) has been widely used in continuous casting process to improve the solidification quality of the steel strand. In the present study, a 3D multi-physical-field mathematical model was developed to predict the macro transport phenomena in continuous casting mold with M-EMS using ANSYS commercial software, and was adopted to investigate the effect of current intensity (0, 150, 200, and 240 A) on the heat, momentum, and species transports in the billet continuous casting mold with a size of 160 mm × 160 mm. The results show that when the M-EMS is on, the horizontal swirling flow appears and shifts the high-temperature zone upward. With the increase of current intensity, two swirling flows form on the longitudinal section of continuous casting mold and become more intensive, and the flow velocity of the molten steel at the solidification front increases. Thus, the wash effects of the fluid flow on the initial solidified shell become intensive, resulting in a thinner shell thickness at the mold exit and a significant negative segregation of carbon at the billet subsurface.

In this paper, a three-dimensional finite element model is developed to simulate and analyze the turbulent flow in the mould of billet continuous casting. The result shows that if the SEN is used in the continuous casting process, there exists a symmetrical stronger vortex in the middle of the mould and a weaker vortex above the nozzle. The casting speed, the depth and diameter of SEN all have significant effect on the fluid flow field and the turbulent kinetic energy on the meniscus, and then have effect on the billet quality. At the given conditions, the optimum set of parameters is: the casting speed 0.035 , the depth of the SEN 0.1 , the diameter of the SEN 0.025 . Online verifying of this model has been developed, which can be proved that it is very useful to control the steel quality and improve the productivity.
