Abstract: The research is motivated by the ongoing the electromagnetic continuous casting of molten metal. The revised k-s model considering the effect of magnetic field applica-tion was derived. The specific model equations for the electromagnetic braking were used to calculate the velocity distribution in the continuous casting mold of steel. The results show that the revised κ-ε model considering the effect of magnetic field applieation tends to suppress the production of turbulence and di~erence between the conventional and revised κ-εmodel is small.

Key words: revised k-s turbulence model, electromagnetic continuous casting, magnetic field,
