Analysis and Research of Molten Copper Sloshing in Mould of Anode Based on VOF Method

Abstract

In the production process of anode, the quality of anode is affected by the sloshing of molten copper caused by casting wheel during operation. Therefore, it is significant to study the sloshing of molten copper and the motion model of casting wheel for improving the quality of anode. Using VOF method and UDF to study the sloshing of molten copper and the motion characteristics of casting wheel. Establishing the ΔH - a model through the method of FLUENT and MATLAB. The optimal motion model of casting wheel is S-model.
