Abstract
Based on the principle of Coriolis force and the structure of combined top and bottom blown converter, the relationship between Coriolis force and the converter was analyzed theoretically. It is concluded that Coriolis force affects converter’s flow field by the action on top and bottom blown gas. It makes top gas clockwise deflection and bottom gas counterclockwise deflection, and the deflection angle of the former smaller than the latter. According to the theoretical analysis, the water model experiments were designed to primarily test and verify the influence of Coriolis force on converter’s flow field. It is shown from the investigation that the counterclockwise trend of bottom gas caused by Coriolis force can be superimposed with the counterclockwise trend of flow field caused by the arrangement of bottom tuyeres, further to reduce the mixing time of bath.
