N2 - The thin slab casting (TSC) of steel is a type of the continuous casting (CC) with anarrow funnel-shaped mold, characterized by the rapid solidification and fast production rates.A highly turbulent flow impacts on a growing solid shell due to the constant feeding of the freshhot melt. That strongly affects the solidification profiles and final quality of the TSC slabs. Thepresented work numerically investigates the solidification inside the TSC mold with theasymmetric flow pattern caused by the misalignment (tilting) of the submerged entry nozzle(SEN). These effects were considered with and without the applied electromagnetic brake(EMBr). The influence of the adjustable EMBr on the asymmetric flow and solidification profilesincluding turbulent and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) effects were studied. During consistentseries of simulations, the EMBr was varied between the magnetic poles and the time-averagedvelocity and temperature fields were collected. The results showed that symmetric EMBr of alocal type could partially improve the asymmetry. An optimal braking scenario was found forthe casing speed of 5.5 m/min and maximum EMBr value of 180 mT. The solidification andMHD models including turbulence were developed using OpenFOAM®.
