Mapping, Educating, Training Applying models in continuous CASTing
1 July 2025 – Dissemination Events at SIDENOR
A dissemination event focused on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), took place at Sidenor Innovation Hub on July 1st, 2025, and was broadcasted in a hybrid format.
The speakers were:
- Pavel Rámirez López – Group Manager at SWERIM
- Diana Mier Vasallo – Process Manager at Sidenor R&D
- Raquel Arias Pérez – Process Researcher at Sidenor R&D
The agenda included the following sessions:
- Session 1: CFD for Continuous Casting: This session explored how CFD modelling can be applied to industrial problem-solving, with a specific focus on the continuous casting process.
- Session 2: Digital Twins in Continuous Casting: This session examined how digital twins support the modelling and resolution of industrial challenges in continuous casting
- Session 3: Modelling Success Stories at Sidenor: The third and final session presented real-world examples from Sidenor, showcasing how applied research and numerical modelling have been used to solve complex industrial problems.
In addition, as this was the first event on training a preliminary educational session was held for students, aimed at providing foundational knowledge on continuous casting. This session, conducted in Spanish, included three modules:
- Introduction to Continuous Casting
- Continuous Casting at Sidenor
- Introduction to Numerical Modelling
