Aluminium metal production through electrolytic reduction of alumina in a cryolite bath is a
complex, multi-physics, multi-scale process, including magneto-hydrodynamics (MHD) …

In a Europe that is undergoing digital transformation, the COGNITWIN project is contributing
to accelerate the transformation and introduce Industry 4.0 to the European process …

In this work, a pragmatic computational model, which can be employed as a physics-based
digital twin, is used to simulate Alcoa's aluminium reduction cell. The proposed transient …

At the ferrochromium plant at Mo i Rana, Norway, significant loss of metal to the slag was
experienced after a redesign of the tap** area in 1997. The loss was substantially larger …

SYNOPSIS 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 …

In this paper we develop a physics-based model for the erosion of lining in steel ladles. The
model predicts the temperature evolution in the liquid slag, steel, refractory bricks and outer …

In this paper, we demonstrate how we can develop a coarse-grained model for the alumina
distribution in an aluminium reduction cell. The model is designed to have the potential of …

A methodology for building pragmatic physics based models (Zoric et al., 2015b) is here
adapted to a use-case in the steel industry. The challenge is to predict the erosion of steel …

In this paper, we will apply the concepts of pragmatic industrial modelling to the
development of a real time drilling support tool. We develop requirements to such a …

Simulation of multiphase flows is generally treated by various classes of Eulerian methods,
Lagrangian methods, and various combinations of these. In the SIMCOFLOW initiative, we …
