During the last decade, the chair for ‘Simulation and Modelling of Metallurgical Processes’ (SMMP) has worked on different metallurgical processes with the highlights of the following five industrial relevant topics: (i) modelling the as-cast structures of large steel castings; (ii) exploring the formation mechanisms of macrosegregation; (iii) describing magnetohydrodynamic and electrochemical phenomena in remelting processes, (iv) understanding how solidification and flow can be influenced by magnetohydrodynamics during steel continuous casting; and (v) describing nozzle clogging in steelmaking processes. In this contribution, the main achievements from the group on the above five topics are briefly described.
