Contactless Inductive Flow Tomography: Brief History and Recent Developments in Its Application to Continuous Casting
Figure 2
Application of CIFT to a flow problem related to the continuous casting of steel. Experimental set-up: a liquid metal (GaInSn) is poured through a submerged entry nozzle (SEN) into the mould with a rectangular cross-section of mm2 and a height of 335 mm. Added Argon gas leads to a highly chaotic flow in the mould. A magnetic field of about 2 mT is applied by a coil. The flow induced magnetic fields are measured with fluxgate sensors at the narrow faces of the mould.
