Internship experience involved FEM simulation of the steel refining process using STARCCM+• Developed an implicit transient, multi-phase model to simulate the steel refining process in a converter• Pioneered the model simplifications to limit the convective-courant number below 1, resulting in solutions with significantly improved computational time and accuracy in line with the experimentally observed values• Researched key factors like converter aspect ratio, outlet design parameters, surface tension, rotation rate, threshold angle and their effects on efficiency and time of the process• Improved converter and outlet design, effecting 60% reduction in process time & 10% increment in output efficiency
