A transient two-fluid model is applied to simulate fluid flow and heat tran
sfer in a nonisothermal water model of continuous casting (CC) tundish. The
original liquid in the bath is defined as the first fluid, and the inlet s
tream, with the temperature variation, is defined as the second fluid. The
flow patterns and heat transfer are predicted by solving the three-dimensio
nal (3-D) transient transport equations for each fluid. The results predict
ed by the two-fluid model make the effect of natural convection more clear
compared with the generally used single fluid model k-epsilon turbulence mo
