Contactless Inductive Flow Tomography: Brief History and Recent Developments in Its Application to Continuous Casting

Figure 3

Results of MIT and CIFT for a test with an Argon flow rate of 400 cm3/min: (a) pressure, stopper rod position, and tundish and meniscus level during the test; (b) spatial distribution of liquid metal (red) and Argon (gray) in the SEN in dependence of time; (c) CIFT-determined , (d) , and (e)–(h) snapshots of the MIT-determined liquid metal/Argon distribution in the SEN and of the CIFT-determined velocity field in the mould. Different flow structures are clearly visible. L and R denote the left and right port of the SEN, respectively.
