The flow state and velocity distribution of liquid metal in the FC-Mold and the influence rules by the magnetic flux density have been investigated when electromagnetic brake adopted, applying mercury as medium to simulate molten steel in the continuous casting process. The velocity measurement has been completed by the Ultrasonic Doppler Velocimeter (UDV) under various magnetic distribution and the influence laws of magnetic flux density on the liquid metal flow in the mold has been analyzed. The experimental results indicate that, when the upper and lower magnetic flux density is 0.18T and 0.5T respectively, a preferable control effect can be obtained, not only the free surface fluctuation can be compressed, but also a plug flow can be rapidly formed.

Liquid metal flow behavior in round strands continuous casting under intermittently reversing direction electromagnetic stirring was measured by ultrasonic Doppler velocity-meter in a physical simulation system in order to investigate the effects of time interval () of periodically reversed magnetic field on the spatial and temporal flow. The results show that under electromagnetic stirring with direction reserved magnetic field, theres a periodically change of the metal flow velocity and rotation direction with the periodically direction changing of the magnetic field. From both the experimental and mathematical model calculation results, it is found that when is nearly equal to the time required for the metal flow speeding to the maximum velocity from still and decreases to zero again, there is a critical value of the rate of dynamic pressure, which means the wash effect of the liquid metal flow. On this point, rate of dynamic pressure was proposed to be a criterion for optimization the processing of electromagnetic stirring.

An analytical model for the transfer has been development and applied for calculating the shape of the solid thickness profile for continuous casting of a thin plate as an example. The stationary solidification front relative to the crystallizer was received from the superposition of the motions of the liquid metal flow in the axial direction and the solidifying metal in the perpendicular direction. The shape of the solidified crust was analyzed for different casting forms. The results are compared and graphically shown for different selected forms.

Based on electromagnetic theory, a billet model electromagnetic continuous casting of physical and mathematical were established. The three-dimensional mold for billet electromagnetic field was calculated by finite element method of ANSYS three-dimensional numerical simulation. Then the distribution of the electromagnetic field inside the crystal was gotten. At the same time, the influence of the power frequency and current strength on the intensity and distribution of the magnetic field were simulated. The result shows that the maximum of the electromagnetic flux density lies in the center of induction coil (steel surface in the center of the coil), and the magnetic flux density gradually reduces along the casting direction; the magnetic flux density increases while the power frequency is increasing; the magnetic flux density increases with the increasing of the current intensity.

A recent three-dimensional (3D) model that revisited earlier theoretical work for longitudinal electromagnetic stirring in the continuous casting of steel blooms is analyzed further to explore how the bloom width interacts with the pole pitch of the stirrer to affect the magnetic flux density. Whereas the first work indicated the presence of a boundary layer in the steel near the interface with the stirrer, with all three components of the magnetic flux density vector being coupled to each other, in the analysis presented here we find that the component along the direction of the travelling wave decouples from those in the other two directions and can even be determined analytically in the form of a series solution. Moreover, it is found that the remaining two components can be found via a two-dimensional computation, but that it is not possible in general to determine these components without taking into account the surrounding air. The validity of the asymptotically reduced model solution is confirmed by comparing it with the results of 3D numerical computations. Moreover, the asymptotic approach provides a way to compute the time-averaged Lorentz force components that requires two orders of magnitude less computational time than the fully 3D approach.
