Abstract: Continuous casting process is an important process to produce steel. Nowadays, steelmakers are focusing on improving process capabilities, efficiency, and product performance in terms of mechanical properties. Hence, various ways have been devoted by researchers globally to improve the continuous casting process and final product quality. Mathematical modeling of steelmaking tundish is an important aspect to enhance the process capability of continuous casting system especially in improving the steelmaking tundish performance. In the present work, we have reviewed the recent progress made in the mathematical modeling of steelmaking tundish. Since tundish is an important last metallurgical reactor, vast importance has been given to modifying and enhancing tundish performance to increase mechanical properties by reducing impurities. We have reviewed the most important aspects of mathematical modeling such as melt flow, heat transfer, turbulence modeling, grade mixing, and refractory wall study, etc. This review work would be helpful t understand the basic mathematical modeling practice of steelmaking tundish.
