Fluid flow mathematical modelling:-
Continuity and RANS equations
ρ = Liquid density, (kg.m−3)
ui = Velocity component in xi direction, (m.s−1)
μeff = Effective viscosity, (kg.m−1.s−1)
μeff = μo+ μt; μo = Laminar viscosity & μt = Turbulence viscosity.
β = Thermal expansion coefficient of the molten steel, (K−1)
The κ-ε model gives the turbulent viscosity as-
Cμ= 0.09, κ = Turbulent kinetic energy (m2.s−2),
ε = Turbulent energy dissipation rate, (m2.s−3)

Transport and removal of inclusions:-
Langrangian particle tracking method-
= Inclusion location at any time, (m)
The inclusion velocity equation can be derived from the force balance:
Total force acting on the inclusion F : FD + FG
mp = Particle mass,
ap = Particle acceleration rate,
u = Known liquid velocity, (m/s)
ρ = Inclusion and liquid densities, (kg.m−3)

Transport and removal of inclusions:-
CD = Drag coefficient as a function of inclusion Reynolds number
Turbulent fluctuation on the motion of inclusions are modeled using κ-ε flow field by
adding a random velocity fluctuation at each step.
Non-Stochastic model: Time averaged fluid flow velocity
Stochastic model:
u = Instantaneous fluid velocity, (m/s)
= Random velocity fluctuation, m/s.
