Based on a full-size water mould,the influences of the process parameters on the flow regime of steel/slag interface of the slab mould,such as the mould width,casting speed,SEN structure、submergence depth of SEN,etc were investigated.The results show that interfacial fluctuations and the max fluid rates at slag/steel interface increases with the augment of the mould width or casting speed,while the influence of SEN structure and submergence depth of SEN on interfacial fluctuations and the max fluid rates at slag/steel interface is complicated.It is concluded that the convex type SEN with an outlet angle of 15° has better universality.
