Abstract
Using mathematical modeling, a comprehensive analysis of experimental data on the study of the behavior of a 350-ton converter bath during characteristic periods of upper purging at a high rate of decarburization of the melt and at the final stage of the operation was performed. The developed and adapted mathematical models and numerical studies made it possible to additionally describe macrophysical phenomena during the movement of gas-metallic, gas-slag and multicomponent phases in the working space of the converter. It is established that the overall dynamics and circulation of the gas-and-metal medium as a whole is determined by the processes in the reaction zone and the level of foamed slag. When the melt is purged through the upper lance in the mode of buried gas jets and a different amount of slag in the working space, quantitative characteristics of the relative values of the gas content in the slag in relation to the average density and concentration of gas in the emulsion are determined. The obtained data allow us to supplement the understanding of the hydrodynamics of the metal and slag phases in the converter during the characteristic periods of melting and use the information obtained in the development of rational parameters of the blast mode of the converter operation.
