Abstract：
Aiming at the numerical simulation analysis of molten steel flow field in square billet continuous casting mold,the flexibility and expansibility of open source software OpenFOAM was utilized to modify the code of its multiphaseInterFoam solver to meet the requirements of simulation calculation.The flow field of molten steel in square billet continuous casting mould was calculated by using the developed program,and the feasibility of numerical simulation and analysis of multiphase flow field in billet continuous casting mould was discussed.The results show that the flow field at the four orifice of the mould is complex and asymmetric,and slag entrapment is possible even if the surface of the slag is stable.
