The steady magnetic field impact on the mould flow at the continuous casting process of steel

The influence of a steady magnetic field on the spatio-temporal structure of the mold flow in a physical model of the continuous casting process is studied. The velocity field is measured by an array of ultrasound sensors. The application of the magnetic field provokes a strong recirculation flow at the upper part of the nozzle outlet. The inclination of the jet becomes flatter, and its up- and downturn leads to large scale oscillations of the local velocity.
