Modeling of Metallurgical Processes

Mikael Ersson's research focuses on metallurgical processes, particularly the modeling and optimization of steelmaking and refining techniques. His work involves computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations to study multiphase flows, heat transfer, and chemical reactions within metallurgical reactors. For instance, he has investigated the impact of gas blowing nozzle positions on flow characteristics and mass transfer during the Argon Oxygen Decaruburization(AOD) refining processes, aiming to enhance efficiency and product quality. Additionally, Ersson has explored the direct reduction of iron ore pellets using various gas compositions, contributing to advancements in low CO₂ steelmaking. His research also delves into the effects of swirling flow technology in both continuous and ingot casting, seeking to optimize steel flow and solidification processes. Through these studies, Ersson aims to improve the understanding and control of complex phenomena in metallurgical operations, ultimately advancing sustainable and efficient steel production.
