Solidification near the meniscus in a continuous caster

In continous casting flux powder is added on top of the melt. Due to the large temperatures the flux melts and flows into a small gap between the solidified strand shell and the mould. Due to the vertical oscillation of the mould depressions on the strand surface, so called oscillation marks, are formed. In this paper a model describing the flow of flux and its interaction with the solidifying strand shell is presented.
