摘要: 采用格子Boltzmann方法對鋼液中夾雜物上浮及上浮過程中的碰撞行為進行直接數值模擬研究.結果表明,不同尺寸夾雜物顆粒上浮速度的模擬結果和理論值基本一致,表明本文所采用的數值算法能夠精確有效地對鋼液中固相夾雜物顆粒運動行為進行研究.當鋼液中直徑為80μm的夾雜物顆粒位于直徑為40μm的下方并一起上浮時,直徑為80μm的夾雜物顆粒會逐漸追趕上直徑為40μm的夾雜物顆粒并發生碰撞形成大尺寸凝聚體,凝聚體的上浮速度顯著大于二者單獨上浮時的上浮速度.對于直徑為40μm的夾雜物來說,形成凝聚體后的上浮速度比單獨上浮時的上浮速度增加300%.實際煉鋼過程中,采取必要的措施增加夾雜物顆粒之間上浮過程中的碰撞凝聚,對于提高夾雜物顆粒的上浮速度,尤其是小尺寸夾雜上浮去除速度,提高鋼液的潔凈度具有重要的意義.Abstract: The floating and collision behavior of inclusions in the floating process was numerically simulated by using the Lattice Boltzmann method. It is found that the floating velocity simulation results of different size inclusion particles are almost the same as the theoretical value,which demonstrates that the motion behavior of solid inclusion particles can be investigated concisely and effectively by using the numerical algorithm adopted in this paper. When an inclusion particle with a diameter of 80 μm locates below an inclusion particle with a diameter of 40 μm and floats up at the same time,the inclusion particle with a diameter of 80 μm can catch up with the inclusion particle with a diameter of 80 μm,collide with each other and grow up into a big inclusion cluster. When the inclusion particles with diameters of 80 μm and 40 μm floats up separately,the floating velocity of the inclusion cluster is bigger than them. For the inclusion particle with a diameter of 40 μm,the floating velocity after collision with the bigger size inclusion particle increases by 300% compared with that of floating separately. In the steelmaking process,it is necessary to take measures to enhance collision and coagulation in the floating process,which will improve the floating velocity of inclusions especially for small size inclusions and have a great importance on the cleanliness of steel.
