• A pragmatical physics-based model for predicting ladle lifetime 

      Johansen, Stein Tore; Løvfall, Bjørn Tore; Duran, T. Rodriguez (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)
      In this paper we develop a physics-based model for lining erosion in steel ladles. The model predicts the temperature evolution in the liquid slag, steel, refractory bricks, and outer steel shell of the ladle. The flow of ...
    • Pragmatism in industrial modelling: An application to ladle lifetime in the steel industry 

      Johansen, Stein Tore; Løvfall, Bjørn Tore; Duran, T. Rodriguez; Zoric, Josip (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)
      A methodology for building pragmatic physics-based models is here adapted to predict the erosion of ladle linings in the steel industry, in order to support operators when deciding whether the lining can be used safely for ...
