title = "Numerical investigation of slag entrainment in continuous casting molds",
abstract = "This article presents a three-dimensional, transient, multiphase, turbulent numerical model of slag entrainment in continuous casting molds. The model uses explicit time marching, the volume-of-fluid method with the geometric-reconstruction scheme for multiphase phenomenona, and the k-ω turbulence model. The numerical model is verified with analytical solutions, and then is validated with experiments of a rotating cylinder submerged in a tank of oil and water. These experiments report the critical angular velocity of the cylinder at which oil entrainment starts to occur, and the model reasonably agrees.",
