Abstract: The clean steel is a major requirement of modern industries. The clean steel provides enhanced mechanical and chemical properties. The melt coming out from the furnace and ladle contains a high amount if eroded refractory particles. Thus, the tundish is a last metallurgical reactor where the molten metal can be cleaned through the various mechanisms. The present paper shows the computational results of flow behavior of inclusion particles inside the tundish geometry. A three-dimensional model of tundish with advanced pouring box (APB) has been used to for the numerical simulation. It has been seen that APB has a significant impact over the inclusion motion behavior in the tundish. Different sizes of inclusion particles have been studied on two types of tundish. It was found that the use of an advanced pouring box has enhanced the inclusion removal efficiency of the tundish.
