A mathematical model has been developed to understand the electromagnetic phenomena, heat trans-

fer and molten steel flow in a continuous casting tundish with channel-type induction heating. Maxwell

equations are first solved using the finite element method to determine the electromagnetic force and

joule heating. Then, the Navier-Stokes equations and energy conservation equation are also solved with

the electromagnetic force and joule heating as a source term, respectively. The two-equation RNG k-ε

model is used to represent the turbulent mixing. Additionally, the tracer distribution is determined by solv-

ing a scale transport equation. The coupled flow field, temperature distribution and concentration distribu-

tion are solved by the finite volume method. A non-isothermal water model experiment is performed to

observe significantly buoyancy driven flow in the tundish with induction heating. The results indicate that

a current loop would be formed by the induced current through the two channels. The electromagnetic

force points to the center of the channel generating a pinch effect on molten steel. As skin effect and

proximity effect, the electromagnetic force as well as the joule heating in the region closer to the induction

coil is greater than that in another region. Therefore, spiral recirculation would occur in the channels when

molten steel flows through. After flows through the channels, the molten steel lifts upward under the effect

of buoyancy. The heat loss of molten steel can be compensated effectively by the joule heating, and the

temperature distribution become more uniform in the continuous casting tundish with induction heating.

1.Introduction

The continuous casting tundish, working as a buffer and distribution of molten steel between the ladle and the contin-uous casting mold, plays a key role in affecting the quality and productivity as well as the performance of the continuous casting machine of molten steel. In order to obtain ideal fluid flow characteristics in tundish, various flow control devices, such as weirs, dams, and turbulence inhibitors, have been widely used in tundish.1–4) All of them are designed to increase the mean residence time and plug flow volume of molten steel in tundish for enhancing inclusions removal rate which is good to the slab quality. However, the distri-bution of molten steel temperature is also very critical to the slab quality. The distribution of molten steel compositions would get more uniform if the temperature distribution improved in tundish. In addition, keeping constant casting temperature is in favor of the slab quality stability and reli-ability. Practical conditions of tundish in a steel plant are generally non-isothermal and this cannot be ignored.5) The non-isothermal nature of molten steel flows will occur due to heat losses that take place from the top surface of molten steel and from heat losses through the side walls and through the bottom of the tundish. Thus, the outlet temper-ature of molten steel drops significantly with the increasing of mean residence time which goes against continuous casting process.6) There are many situations in actual practice where the molten steel temperature in the tundish is non-uniform. Because of the increasing demands for high quality metallur-gical production year by year, new engineering solutions are developed to eliminate the current drawbacks in the tundish. Recently a new technology such as tundish with induction heating has been proposed to improve the molten steel tem-perature distribution and keep a constant casting temperature in tundish during continuous casting process.

A tundish with channel type induction heating patent was proposed by Ueda et al.,7) in 1983. In the patent, a tundish with a channeled induction-heating device at its sidewall was presented. The thermal loss of molten steel in the tundish can be compensated effectively. Mabuchi et al.,8) investigated the molten steel flow characteristics by per-forming the residence time distribution (RTD) in the tundish with induction heating. They found the molten steel as well as inclusions lifts upward under the effect of buoyancy due to the induction heating which is beneficial to the remove of inclusions. Umbrashko et al.9) used the experiment and numerical simulation to study the turbulent flow in induc-tion furnaces. The experimental measurements of the melt flow velocities were carried out in a laboratory induction crucible furnace, where Wood’s metal is used as the model melt. In their numerical modeling, they compared different turbulent models first and then decided to use the LES tur-bulent model to simulate the melt flow. Vives and Ricou10) used an experiment to study the multi-physical field within a cold four-tenth physical model of a 1300 kW channel induction furnace. Their key research contents were also the electromagnetic force and the velocity field in the channel

induction furnace. According to their experimental results,the magnetic field lines on the horizontal cross-section of the channels were approximately concentric circular. The electromagnetic forces on the horizontal cross-section of the channels pointed to the central of the channels which gives rise to the classical “pinch effect”. The melt flow structure is very complicate. The melt had a rotating velocity and the peak velocity was found in the corner region. Kenji et al.11)used a magnetohydrodynamic calculation to investigate the flow field in a large molten-iron inductor which has a sim-ilar physical structure to the induction furnace in the Vives and Ricou’s research. They investigated the melt flow field under different situations, and indicated that inductors have high performance to heat the melt and to make the circula-tion flows in their channels. They also calculated the melt flow field without and with joule heating and found that the electromagnetic force affects the flow field extremely more than the buoyancy do. Miura et al.12) performed some indus-trial tests on the tundish with induction heating of No. 2 con-tinuous caster at Yawata Works. The induction heating was used to keep the molten steel temperature around 1550°C at the later stage of the casting due to the molten steel temper-ature dropped sharply. They studied the change of cleanliness of the molten steel in the tundish with induction heating. With the help of the electromagnetic force and the buoyancy driven flow, the inclusion removal ratio was increased and the surface quality of slab was improved significantly.

From the above discussion, it should be noted that a num-ber of researchers have included electromagnetic field, fluid flow, and inclusion behavior to analyze furnace or tundish with induction heating. Nonetheless, a little paper published focus on the temperature distribution of molten steel in the tundish with induction heating. As we know, the tempera-ture distribution of molten steel in the tundish is very critical to slab quality. In addition, the primary purpose of induction heating is to make the temperature distribution more uni-form and keep a constant casting temperature. Therefore,the temperature distribution should be paid enough attention in the research of tundish with induction heating.

The heat transfer phenomena in the conventional tundish have been widely investigated. Joo et al .,13) reported on the heat transfer phenomena and inclusion behavior in different structure tundish using mathematical model with non-iso-thermal conditions. In order to study the thermal natural convection phenomena, the molten steel density was assumed as a function of temperature instead of a constant.According to their numerical results, the net drop in temper-ature of molten steel for their conditions modeled was about 16 K which would make the natural convection currents sig-nificant in the tundish. The temperature drop cannot be changed even with weir or dam arrangements in the tundish,but only make the temperature distribution more uniform.Thus, it is essential to use the induction heating on the tundish to compensate the heat loss of molten steel. In addi-tion, it has been shown by Joo et al.13) and Chakraborty et al.14) that the fluid flow patterns developed in tundish with non-isothermal conditions can be quite different from those obtained under isothermal conditions. Non-isothermal con-ditions give rise to natural convection and buoyancy driven flows within a tundish that are of a comparable order of magnitude to the inertially-driven components. In the tundish with induction heating, the effect of natural convection and buoyancy driven flows would be even more significant because of the molten steel temperature rises dramatically.Thus, it is necessary to investigate the temperature distribu-tion and the fluid flow of molten steel in the tundish with induction heating with non-isothermal conditions.

In present work, the joule heating and temperature distribu-tion in tundish with induction heating was our research focus.The physical experiments were done in the equivalent one third scale plexiglass water model of a tundish with induction heating. Step input of hot water was introduced into the chan-nel to simulate buoyancy driven flow induced by induction

heating. Thermal gradient of the hot water was shown to have a significant effect on the fluid flow pattern.15,16) A thermo-electromagneto-hydrodynamic mathematical model has been developed so as to investigate the electromagnetic field, flow field as well as heat transfer phenomena in tundish with induc-tion heating. In present work, the non-isothermal water model experiment and the complete understanding of the molten steel temperature distribution in tundish with induction heating by mathematical model are really two novel aspects.2.Model Development

2.1.Geometrical Description

The structure of a three-dimensional (3D) tundish with induction heating is shown in Fig. 1. The system is construct-ed based on a channel-type one-strand tundish. The tundish consists of two chambers such as receiving chamber and dis-charging chamber, which are connected by channels. The induction heating system is arranged between two channels consisting of induction coil, iron core, and the air coiling sys-tem which is not shown in Fig. 1. One-phase alternating cur-rent is applied by a 50 Hz frequency power source. Alternating current in the induction coil wound around the iron core gen-erates an alternating magnetic field which in turn induces cur-rent in molten steel in the channels form a single-turn second-ary coil. The induced current in the channels heats the molten steel by producing joule heating. In addition, the electromag-netic force resulted from the interaction between the induced current with the magnetic field acts primarily in channels.2.2.Physical Model

Water model experiment is carried out in a one third scale water model of the tundish with hot water. Froude similarity criterion was used in order to satisfy the dynamic similarity.Figure 2 show the experimental setup which consists of a

plexiglass glass tundish, water supply, the electric conduc-tivity meter, tracer injection system and the hot water injec-tion system.5) The temperature of water in tundish is around 293.15 K for all experiments. A hot water tank is placed beside the tundish. The hot water is injected into the middle of the channel and then mixed with the existing water. Thus the water temperature at the channel outlet would be increased just like the effect of the induction heating. The densities of molten steel and water are shown in Table 2. It can be inferred that the density difference of the molten steel between 1833.15 K and 1870.15 K is approximately equal to that of the water between 293.15 K and 355.15 K. The same density difference can achieve the similar buoyancy driven flow.5) Therefore, the flow rate of the hot water is adjusted to ensure the temperature at the outlets of channels in the water model experiment. In experiment, the flow rate and the temperature of cold water are approximate 2 kg/s and 293.15 K, respectively. In order to reach the temperature at the channel outlet we expect, the flow rate and tempera-ture of hot water is set as 6.89 kg/s and 373.15 K approxi-mately. In addition, the heat loss of water in experiment is very small and ignored due to the experiment time is short.On the other hand, the induction heating power is assumed to be 1200 kW in the corresponding calculation so as to ensure the same density difference. The black ink is used for flow visualization and photography. In addition, the curves of resident time distribution (RTD)17–20) is also measured by the stimulus-response-technique which used to validate the mathematical model.

where u 00σ is conductivity, μ is permeability. The magnetic Reynolds number indicates the ratio of magnetic convection and mag-netic diffusion. In present work, the main influenced region of magnetic field in tundish is the channels. In the channels,the maximum velocity of molten steel is less than 0.3 m/s.Therefore, the maximum magnetic Reynolds number is less than 0.04. It means that the effect of the magnetic convec-

tion is much less than that of the magnetic diffusion. There-fore, the effect of fluid flow on the electromagnetic field can be neglected. Consequently, the induced current density

In present work, the equation of mass continuity and the Navier-Stokes equation for molten steel are expressed,(10).......(11) is gravitational accelera- is pressure and is the volumetric force.23,24)

The term in Eq. (11) accounts for the buoyancy acting on the hotter or cooler molten steel. In many papers,5,11) the buoyancy has been simplified by using a Boussinesq’s mod-el which is just appropriate for the small temperature differ-ence. However, the difference between the maximum and the minimum temperature of the molten steel in the tundish with induction heating would reach as high as 50 K. In order to describe the buoyancy driven flow more accuracy, the molten steel density would be treated as a function of the temperature which is expressed as:25,26)

A large curvature streamline of molten steel would be formed under the effect of tundish structure and electromag-netic force. Therefore, the two-equation RNG k-εturbulent model which considers the effect of swirl on turbulence is adopted to determine the effective viscosityμeff.27,28)

29,30) The tem-perature distribution is coupled with the velocity field through the buoyancy term in Eq. (11).

2.3.4.Boundary Conditions

In present work, one-phase alternating current is applied on induction coil by a 50 Hz frequency power source in the calculation of the electromagnetic field. In order to under-stand the tundish with induction heating more deeply, three different input powers are considered. The air surfaces should be set with the magnetic flux parallel condition. Mass flow rate is set for the inlet and the outlet of tundish with a turbulent intensity of 10%. Zero shear stress boundary condition is applied for the free surface of tundish. As for the other wall, no-slip condition is used. In order to capture the dramatic change of gradients accurately, the standard wall functions near the wall are adopted. In addition, the walls and free surface of the tundish are assumed to be impervious to the tracer, i.e. zero flux condition is considered at the walls and free surface for the defined scalar. The inlet temperature of molten steel is fixed to the casting temperature.

The heat loss from each wall of the tundish is very impor-tant to the calculation of temperature distribution. The tem-perature drop of the molten steel in tundish can research 16 K because of the huge heat loss.13) Since the temperature distribution of the molten steel in tundish with induction heating is the focus in present work, it is necessary to consider the heat loss from each wall of the tundish. In the calculation, the second boundary condition is used. The ways of heat loss in the tundish include the radiation and convection which would be converted into the heat flux at each wall. According to references,31–34) the heat flux at the top surface, the bottom, the longitudinal walls, the transversal walls, and the channel walls is 15 kW/m2, 1.8 kW/m2, 5.2 kW/m2, 4.6 kW/m2, and 2.0 kW/m2, respectively. Values of other parameters used in the model calculation are listed in Table 1.3.Solution Method

A flow diagram showing the modeling requirements for calculation is shown in Fig. 3. The strategy adopted here is a sequential approach. Firstly, the steady 3D magnetic diffusion equation with the electromagnetic field of induction heating is solved in order to carry out the coupled simulation. Sec-ondly, the steady flow field and the temperature distribution of molten steel in tundish without induction heating are cal-culated as the initial field for next calculation. Thirdly, the transient flow field and the temperature distribution of molten steel in tundish with induction heating are computed by add-ing the joule heating to energy conservation equation and the electromagnetic force to momentum conservation equation for molten steel as the source terms.35,36)

The governing equations of electromagnetic field and other physical fields are solved by employing the commer-cial software ANSYS and CFX, respectively. As for the electromagnetic field calculation based on ANSYS, the finite element method is used. The fluid flow field and tem-perature distribution are calculated by finite volume method based on CFX. The discretization step of computation domain in electromagnetic field calculation is determined by considering the penetration depth of an electromagnetic wave in the melt region. In addition, since it is difficult to keep the consistency of the two sets of grids used in elec-tromagnetic calculation and flow dynamic calculation, the joule heating distribution and the electromagnetic force field should be interpolated accurately between the two sets of grids. The number of hexahedron elements used in the elec-tromagnetic calculation, the flow and heat transfer calcula-tion is about 1 150 000 and 1 020 000 respectively. During each iteration, the convergence is assumed to be reached if all the normalized unscaled residuals are less than 10–6.

4.Validation of the Mathematical Model against

Experimental Results

In present work, mathematical model has been performed to study the electromagnetic field, fluid flow, and heat transfer phenomena in a tundish with induction heating. It is neces-sary to validate the mathematical model with corresponding experiment. In this section, the experimental validation of the mathematical model is established with the experiment data reported in the literature and the water model results. In Vives and Ricou’s10) experiment, the electromagnetic field in a four-tenth scale physical model of a 1300 kW channel induction furnace which structure is similar to the tundish with induction heating in present work. The same current density and frequency are applied on the tundish with induction heating in present work. Figure 4 show the predicated magnetic flux density field and the electromag-Fig. 3.

netic force field in the left channel. We can find that the distribution of predicated magnetic flux density field and electromagnetic force field is very similar with experimental results. Besides, Figs. 4(b) and 4(d) shows the comparison of magnetic flux density and electromagnetic force at the horizontal axis of left channel. It is easy to see that the value of magnetic flux density and electromagnetic force predicat-ed is lesser than that measured in the experiments. The two primary coils in the experiments can responsible for the dif-ference. The magnetic field induced by one coil would affect that induced by another coil. The two magnetic fields would be reinforced by each other because of the same direction. Thus, the measured results would greater than the numerically predicated results. The Figs. 5(a) and 5(b) com-pares the numerically predicated and experimentally observed tracer dispersion behavior in the tundish without and with induction heating. It is obvious to see that the profiles of the wave fronts are pretty similar. The minor differences at the outline edge can be attributed to the highly statistical nature of turbulent flow. In present work, the RNG k-ε two-equation turbulent model is used to simulate the fluid flow which can-not predicate the random eddies. The large eddy simulation or the direct numerical simulation may perhaps eliminate the minor differences due to they are able to predicate these random eddies. However, the results are very similar and the mathematical model is robust. Figure 5(c) provides the com-parison of the RTD curves between the numerically predicated and the experimentally in the tundish without induction heat-

(16)

(17)where t is the time, τ is the theoretical residence time, V is the water volume in plexiglass glass tundish, Q m is the vol-umetric flow rate, and C is the concentration.19)

The numer-ically predicated RTD curve is pretty similar (±

15%) to that obtained from the experimental measurement. The RTD curve is not measured in the tundish with induction heating limited by the experimental conditions. Therefore, the math-ematical model developed in presented validated both qual-itatively and quantitatively.5.Results and Discussions

5.1.Electromagnetic Field

Figure 6 shows the induced current density field at the cross section of the tundish with induction heating. The induced current distributes at the channels and the region of two chambers near the induction coil mainly. A current loop is formed by the induced current through the channels. Due to the skin effect and the proximity effect, the induced cur-rent on the side of channels closer to the induction coil is greater than that on the other side of channels. In addition,the current field at the corner regions, where the channels connect with the discharging chamber and the receiving chamber, is greater than other region. This phenomenon is also observed in Vives and Ricou’s 10) experiments. The interaction of induced current with molten steel produces

joule heating which would heat molten steel. Moreover, the electromagnetic force would be generated due to the inter-action of magnetic field with induced current.

The magnetic flux density field in tundish with 800 kW induction heating power is shown in Fig. 7(a). The magnetic flux density in the channels and the region of two chambers near the induction coil is much greater than the other region.The magnetic field in the channels is a rotating magnetic field. Due to the effect of the asymmetrical induced current,the magnetic flux density is also presented as asymmetrical.Figure 7(b) shows the magnetic flux density at the line by the meeting of cross section and vertical section. The coordi-nate range of the channels is –2.323 m to –1.062 m. The mag-netic flux density reaches the maximum value in the channels.Besides, with the increasing induction heating power, the magnetic flux density in the channels also turns greater. On the contrary, the magnetic flux density does not change much.Furthermore, it is seen in Fig. 9 that the change of the mag-netic flux density is very smooth, except for the corner regions where the current density changes dramatically.

Figure 8 shows the electromagnetic force field in the tundish with 800 kW induction heating power. The electro-magnetic force in the channels is much greater than that in the other regions. The main influenced region of electro-magnetic force is located in the channels as well as the two chambers near induction coil. The electromagnetic force points to the center of channels which would generate a pinch effect on the molten steel. Therefore, the molten steel would be extruded by the electromagnetic force when flows past the channels. In addition, because the asymmetrical dis-tribution of induced current and magnetic field, the electro-magnetic force field is also asymmetrical. The electromagnet-ic force on the side closer to the induction coil is greater than

that on the other side. Hence, the molten steel would be acted by an off-centre force when flows past the channels.5.2.Joule Heating Density Distribution

The distribution of the joule heating density in the tundish with 800 kW induction heating power is shown in Fig. 9(a).Because the joule heating is produced by the induced cur-rent, the distribution of the joule heating density is roughly as same as that of the induced current density field. Most joule heating distributes in the channels which would heat the molten steel rapidly when the molten steel flows past the channels. The joule heating at the periphery of the channels is greater than that at the center of the channels. Figure 9(b)shows the joule heating density at the line by the meeting of cross section and vertical section. With the increasing induction heating power, the joule heating density distrib-utes in the channels becomes much greater. As for other regions, the joule heating density does not change much.The distribution of the joule heating density under differ-

ent induction heating power is very critical to the metallur-gical characteristics of the tundish with induction heating.An application of the tundish with induction heating is reported in Miura’s 12) paper. During the late stage of the casting and the process of the ladle changing, the molten steel temperature drops dramatically. Thus, the tundish with induction heating is adopted to compensate the heat loss of the molten steel. According to the rate of the heat loss, the induction heating power is adjusted in order to keep a con-stant casting temperature.

5.3.Velocity Field

Figure 10 shows the numerically predicated flow field of molten steel in the tundish without and with induction heat-ing. In the tundish without induction heating, the molten steel flows past the channels and then flows downward under the effect of gravity which can be observed clearly in Fig. 10(a). Then the molten steel impinges the front wide wall and the bottom of the discharging chamber directly which may cause serious erosion of the inner lining refrac-tory. Most molten steel flows out of the tundish directly and thus causes the obvious short-circuit flow. Only small part of the molten steel lifts upward at a very low velocity leading to a dead zone in the top region of the discharging chamber.The numerically predicated flow field of molten steel in the tundish with induction heating gives rise to an obvious change as shown in Fig. 10(b). The molten steel is acceler-ated when flows past the channels under the combined effect of the electromagnetic force and gravity. In addition,because of the joule heating, the molten steel has a higher temperature than the surrounding molten steel after flows past the channels. Therefore, the molten steel lifts upward after flows past the channels with the help of buoyancy. The

buoyancy driven flow can avoid the impact on the front transversal wall of the discharging chamber. When the mol-ten steel reaches the top region, it would spiral down slowly and then flow out from the outlet. This motion mode of mol-ten steel can reduce the short-circuit flow effectively and prolong the mean residence time which provide more oppor-tunities for inclusions to float up.

Figure 11 shows the velocity at the vertical section of the channels in the tundish without induction heating and with induction heating. With induction heating, because of the off-centre force, the molten steel has a rotating velocity which would form a recirculation in the channels. Both the distribution and the order of magnitude of the numerically predicated velocity field are roughly as same as the mea-sured velocity in Vives and Ricou’s 10) experiments. The molten steel would be mixed intensely in the channels because of the rotating velocity.

5.4.Temperature Distribution

The primary purpose of induction heating is to compensate the heat loss of the molten steel and improve the temperature distribution. Hence, the temperature distribution in tundish without and with induction heating would be investigated deeply. In present work, the influence of the induction heating power on the temperature distribution is also investigated.5.4.1.

Temperature Distribution in Tundish without Induc-tion Heating

A large drop in the molten steel temperature occurs in the tundish without induction heating as shown in Fig. 12. The molten steel near the wall has more heat loss than the molten steel in the inner region. Therefore, the temperature of mol-ten steel in the region near the wall is lower than that in the inner region. Besides, a low temperature region appears in the upper right of the discharging chamber due to the com-bined effect of the dead zone and the huge heat loss.

The molten steel flows to the bottom of the discharging chamber at first as shown in Fig. 13(a). Thus, the tempera-ture of the molten steel in the lower region is higher than that in the upper region at first. However, as time goes on,the temperature of the molten steel in the lower region also reduces. The pathlines of the molten steel stream out from the channels in the discharging chamber move up slightly which can be observed clearly in Figs. 13(b) and 13(c). A dead zone is also formed in the lower region which reinforc-es the heat loss. The Fig. 12(c) shows the stable state of the temperature distribution. Low temperature region appears obviously in the upper region and the lower region which goes against the molten steel compositions uniformity.The outlet temperature calculated in the tundish without induction heating is 1824.03 K. The net drop in temperature

for the conditions modeled is about 9.12 K which is disad-vantage to the continuous casting process.5.4.2.

Temperature Distribution in Tundish with 800 kW Induction Heating Power

Figure 14 shows the temperature distribution in the tundish with 800 kW induction heating power. Because of most joule heating distributes in the channels, the molten steel would be heated rapidly when flows past the channels.Therefore, the temperature rises from 1832 K to 1853 K.The temperature of the molten steel stream out from the channels is higher than that of surrounding molten steel. The molten steel stream out from the channels would lifts upward under the effect of buoyancy as shown in Fig. 15(a).The temperature of the molten steel in the upper region rises first and then the high temperature region expands down-ward gradually. As time goes on, the high temperature region takes over most region of the discharging chamber except the upper right region and the low right region which can be observed obviously in Fig. 14(c). Thus, the effect of the buoyancy driven flow turns weak leading to the path-lines of the molten steel stream out from the channels move down slightly. Figure 15(c) shows the stable state velocity field in tundish with 800 kW induction heating power. Due to the temperature distribution in the discharging chamber improved, the flow field gets more active.

The outlet temperature of molten steel is 1846 K which can be controlled accurately with the help of induction heat-ing. It is easier to keep casting temperature constant which is beneficial to the slab quality.5.4.3.

Temperature Distribution in Tundish with 1000 kW Induction Heating Power

Figure 16 shows the temperature distribution in the tundish with 1000 kW induction heating power. Figure 17 shows velocity field in the tundish with 1000 kW induction heating power. The molten steel stream out from the channels also lifts upward just as same as the flow field in the tundish with 800 kW. However, the temperature of the molten steel stream out from the channels is higher than that in the tundish with 800 kW induction heating power. Therefore, the buoyancy driven flow plays a more important role. The effect of buoy-ancy forces becomes more significant if the thermal gradient turns greater. On the other hand, the density of molten steel in the upper region of the discharging chamber is much less than that in the lower region. A strong natural convection is generated due to the high density difference which enhances the uniformity of the temperature distribution.

The high temperature region would expand downward with time. The change of the temperature distribution in turn affects the flow field. The fluid flow in the lower region gets more active. The velocity of the molten steel in the lower region at the time of 600 s is greater than that at the time of 200 s. Figure 16(c) shows the stable state temperature dis-tribution in the tundish with 1000 kW induction heating power. The low temperature region in the discharging cham-ber is also the upper right region and the low right region.5.4.4.

Temperature Distribution in Tundish with 1200 kW Induction Heating Power

Figure 18 shows the temperature distribution in the tundish with 1200 kW induction heating power. Figure 19 shows velocity field in the tundish with 1200 kW induction heating power. The temperature distribution and the flow field in the tundish with 1200 kW induction heating power are almost as same as that in the tundish with 1000 kW induction heating power. The natural convection turns stronger in the tundish with 1200 kW induction heating power. Therefore, the high temperature region expands downward more quickly. The temperature of the molten steel in most region of the discharg-ing chamber becomes very uniform at the time of 400 s.The low temperature region in the discharging chamber is also the upper right region and the low right region which is just as same as the all cases presented above. The low tem-perature region only turns small with the increasing of the induction heating power. Therefore, the weir and dam arrange-ments should be taken into consideration when the tundish with induction heating is applied into practical application.

Figure 20 shows the outlet temperature of molten steel with different induction heating power. The outlet tempera-ture of molten steel has a tendency of stability after 800 s with different induction heating power. The stable outlet temperature of molten steel turns higher with increasing induction heating power. Thus, the rate of temperature rising in the tundish with 800 kW, 1000 kW and 1200 kW is 0.975K/min, 1.875 K/min and 2.625 K/min. The induction heat-ing regulation can be developed according to the rate of temperature rising with different induction heating power.5.5.Distribution of the Tracer Concentration

A user defined non-dimensional scalar is used to investi-gate the distribution of molten steel compositions in tundish without and with induction heating. The stable distribution of the tracer concentration is shown in Fig. 21. The distri-bution of the tracer concentration is very nonuniform in the tundish without induction heating. In the region close to the outlet of the channels, the tracer concentration is highest and then reduces dramatically in surrounding region. The mini-mum tracer concentration appears in the lower region of the discharging chamber. The tracer concentration difference is about 0.096. The dead zone and the nonuniform temperature distribution are responsible for it.

Figures 21(b) to 21(d) shows the distribution of the tracer concentration in the tundish with different induction heating power. With the help of induction heating, the tracer is mixed more efficiently. The distribution of the tracer concentration

gets more uniform. The tracer concentration difference decreases with the increasing of induction heating power. The minimum tracer concentration in the tundish with 1200 kW induction heating is 0.948. The tracer concentration differ-ence is about 0.052 which reduces by 46% approximately comparing with that in the tundish without induction heating.From above results, it is clear that the induction heating is beneficial to the molten steel compositions uniformity.

6.Conclusions

A thermo-electromagneto-hydrodynamic model was developed to investigate the multi-physical field in the con-tinuous casting tundish with induction heating. The follow-ing results were obtained:

(1) A current loop would be formed by the induced cur-rent through the channels. The induced current distributes at the channel and the two chambers near the induction coil mainly. The magnetic flux density in the channels and the two chambers near the induction coil is much greater than that in the other regions. It is a rotating magnetic field in the channels.(2)Electromagnetic force would be generated as a result of the interaction of magnetic field with the induced current. The distribution of the electromagnetic force is asymmetrical in the channels. Therefore, the molten steel has a rotating velocity when flows past the channels due to the off-center force. In addition, the electromagnetic force points to the center of the channels which would generate a pinch effect on the molten steel.

(3)The interaction of induced current with molten steel produces joule heating which can heat the molten steel effectively. The distribution of joule heating is roughly as same as the distribution of induced current. The molten steel lifts upward after flows past the channels in the tundish with induction heating under the effect of buoyancy. This motion mode of molten steel reduces the short-circuit flow and pro-longs the residence time.

(4)The dead zone and the low temperature region reduce ignificantly in the tundish with induction heating.Therefore, the temperature distribution turns more uniform which is beneficial to the molten steel compositions unifor-mity. In addition, the outlet temperature can be controlled accurately with induction heating which is easier to keep a constant casting temperature during continuous casting pro-cess. It is obvious to see that the cast slab quality can be improved with induction heating.

从实践的角度探讨在日语教学中多媒体课件的应用

从实践的角度探讨在日语教学中多媒体课件的应用 在今天中国的许多大学,为适应现代化,信息化的要求,建立了设备完善的适应多媒体教学的教室。许多学科的研究者及现场教员也积极致力于多媒体软件的开发和利用。在大学日语专业的教学工作中,教科书、磁带、粉笔为主流的传统教学方式差不多悄然向先进的教学手段而进展。 一、多媒体课件和精品课程的进展现状 然而,目前在专业日语教学中能够利用的教学软件并不多见。比如在中国大学日语的专业、第二外語用教科书常见的有《新编日语》(上海外语教育出版社)、《中日交流标准日本語》(初级、中级)(人民教育出版社)、《新编基础日语(初級、高級)》(上海译文出版社)、《大学日本语》(四川大学出版社)、《初级日语》《中级日语》(北京大学出版社)、《新世纪大学日语》(外语教学与研究出版社)、《综合日语》(北京大学出版社)、《新编日语教程》(华东理工大学出版社)《新编初级(中级)日本语》(吉林教育出版社)、《新大学日本语》(大连理工大学出版社)、《新大学日语》(高等教育出版社)、《现代日本语》(上海外语教育出版社)、《基础日语》(复旦大学出版社)等等。配套教材以录音磁带、教学参考、习题集为主。只有《中日交流標準日本語(初級上)》、《初級日语》、《新编日语教程》等少数教科书配备了多媒体DVD视听教材。 然而这些试听教材,有的内容为日语普及读物,并不适合专业外语课堂教学。比如《新版中日交流标准日本语(初级上)》,有的尽管DVD视听教材中有丰富的动画画面和语音练习。然而,课堂操作则花费时刻长,不利于教师重点指导,更加适合学生的课余练习。比如北京大学的《初级日语》等。在这种情形下,许多大学的日语专业致力于教材的自主开发。 其中,有些大学的还推出精品课程,取得了专门大成绩。比如天津外国语学院的《新编日语》多媒体精品课程为2007年被评为“国家级精品课”。目前已被南开大学外国语学院、成都理工大学日语系等全国40余所大学推广使用。

Unit1 Americans believe no one stands still. If you are not moving ahead, you are falling behind. This attitude results in a nation of people committed to researching, experimenting and exploring. Time is one of the two elements that Americans save carefully, the other being labor. "We are slaves to nothing but the clock,” it has been said. Time is treated as if it were something almost real. We budget it, save it, waste it, steal it, kill it, cut it, account for it; we also charge for it. It is a precious resource. Many people have a rather acute sense of the shortness of each lifetime. Once the sands have run out of a person’s hourglass, they cannot be replaced. We want every minute to count. A foreigner’s first impression of the U.S. is li kely to be that everyone is in a rush -- often under pressure. City people always appear to be hurrying to get where they are going, restlessly seeking attention in a store, or elbowing others as they try to complete their shopping. Racing through daytime meals is part of the pace

新大学日语简明教程课文翻译 第21课 一、我的留学生活 我从去年12月开始学习日语。已经3个月了。每天大约学30个新单词。每天学15个左右的新汉字,但总记不住。假名已经基本记住了。 简单的会话还可以,但较难的还说不了。还不能用日语发表自己的意见。既不能很好地回答老师的提问,也看不懂日语的文章。短小、简单的信写得了,但长的信写不了。 来日本不久就迎来了新年。新年时,日本的少女们穿着美丽的和服,看上去就像新娘。非常冷的时候,还是有女孩子穿着裙子和袜子走在大街上。 我在日本的第一个新年过得很愉快,因此很开心。 现在学习忙,没什么时间玩,但周末常常运动,或骑车去公园玩。有时也邀朋友一起去。虽然我有国际驾照,但没钱,买不起车。没办法,需要的时候就向朋友借车。有几个朋友愿意借车给我。 二、一个房间变成三个 从前一直认为睡在褥子上的是日本人,美国人都睡床铺,可是听说近来纽约等大都市的年轻人不睡床铺,而是睡在褥子上,是不是突然讨厌起床铺了? 日本人自古以来就睡在褥子上,那自有它的原因。人们都说日本人的房子小,从前,很少有人在自己的房间,一家人住在一个小房间里是常有的是,今天仍然有人过着这样的生活。 在仅有的一个房间哩,如果要摆下全家人的床铺,就不能在那里吃饭了。这一点,褥子很方便。早晨,不需要褥子的时候,可以收起来。在没有了褥子的房间放上桌子,当作饭厅吃早饭。来客人的话,就在那里喝茶;孩子放学回到家里,那房间就成了书房。而后,傍晚又成为饭厅。然后收起桌子,铺上褥子,又成为了全家人睡觉的地方。 如果是床铺的话,除了睡觉的房间,还需要吃饭的房间和书房等,但如果使用褥子,一个房间就可以有各种用途。 据说从前,在纽约等大都市的大学学习的学生也租得起很大的房间。但现在房租太贵,租不起了。只能住更便宜、更小的房间。因此,似乎开始使用睡觉时作床,白天折小能成为椅子的、方便的褥子。

习惯与礼仪 我是个漫画家,对旁人细微的动作、不起眼的举止等抱有好奇。所以,我在国外只要做错一点什么,立刻会比旁人更为敏锐地感觉到那个国家的人们对此作出的反应。 譬如我多次看到过,欧美人和中国人见到我们日本人吸溜吸溜地出声喝汤而面露厌恶之色。过去,日本人坐在塌塌米上,在一张低矮的食案上用餐,餐具离嘴较远。所以,养成了把碗端至嘴边吸食的习惯。喝羹匙里的东西也象吸似的,声声作响。这并非哪一方文化高或低,只是各国的习惯、礼仪不同而已。 日本人坐在椅子上围桌用餐是1960年之后的事情。当时,还没有礼仪规矩,甚至有人盘着腿吃饭。外国人看见此景大概会一脸厌恶吧。 韩国女性就座时,单腿翘起。我认为这种姿势很美,但习惯于双膝跪坐的日本女性大概不以为然,而韩国女性恐怕也不认为跪坐为好。 日本等多数亚洲国家,常有人习惯在路上蹲着。欧美人会联想起狗排便的姿势而一脸厌恶。 日本人常常把手放在小孩的头上说“好可爱啊!”,而大部分外国人会不愿意。 如果向回教国家的人们劝食猪肉和酒,或用左手握手、递东西,会不受欢迎的。当然,饭菜也用右手抓着吃。只有从公用大盘往自己的小盘里分食用的公勺是用左手拿。一旦搞错,用黏糊糊的右手去拿,

会遭人厌恶。 在欧美,对不受欢迎的客人不说“请脱下外套”,所以电视剧中的侦探哥隆波总是穿着外套。访问日本家庭时,要在门厅外脱掉外套后进屋。穿到屋里会不受欢迎的。 这些习惯只要了解就不会出问题,如果因为不知道而遭厌恶、憎恨,实在心里难受。 过去,我曾用色彩图画和简短的文字画了一本《关键时刻的礼仪》(新潮文库)。如今越发希望用各国语言翻译这本书。以便能对在日本的外国人有所帮助。同时希望有朝一日以漫画的形式画一本“世界各国的习惯与礼仪”。 练习答案 5、 (1)止める並んでいる見ているなる着色した (2)拾った入っていた行ったしまった始まっていた

新视野大学英语第三版第二册读写课文翻译 Unit 1 Text A 一堂难忘的英语课 1 如果我是唯一一个还在纠正小孩英语的家长,那么我儿子也许是对的。对他而言,我是一个乏味的怪物:一个他不得不听其教诲的父亲,一个还沉湎于语法规则的人,对此我儿子似乎颇为反感。 2 我觉得我是在最近偶遇我以前的一位学生时,才开始对这个问题认真起来的。这个学生刚从欧洲旅游回来。我满怀着诚挚期待问她:“欧洲之行如何?” 3 她点了三四下头,绞尽脑汁,苦苦寻找恰当的词语,然后惊呼:“真是,哇!” 4 没了。所有希腊文明和罗马建筑的辉煌居然囊括于一个浓缩的、不完整的语句之中!我的学生以“哇!”来表示她的惊叹,我只能以摇头表达比之更强烈的忧虑。 5 关于正确使用英语能力下降的问题,有许多不同的故事。学生的确本应该能够区分诸如their/there/they're之间的不同,或区别complimentary 跟complementary之间显而易见的差异。由于这些知识缺陷,他们承受着大部分不该承受的批评和指责,因为舆论认为他们应该学得更好。 6 学生并不笨,他们只是被周围所看到和听到的语言误导了。举例来说,杂货店的指示牌会把他们引向stationary(静止处),虽然便笺本、相册、和笔记本等真正的stationery(文具用品)并没有被钉在那儿。朋友和亲人常宣称They've just ate。实际上,他们应该说They've just eaten。因此,批评学生不合乎情理。 7 对这种缺乏语言功底而引起的负面指责应归咎于我们的学校。学校应对英语熟练程度制定出更高的标准。可相反,学校只教零星的语法,高级词汇更是少之又少。还有就是,学校的年轻教师显然缺乏这些重要的语言结构方面的知识,因为他们过去也没接触过。学校有责任教会年轻人进行有效的语言沟通,可他们并没把语言的基本框架——准确的语法和恰当的词汇——充分地传授给学生。

新视野大学英语1课文翻译 1下午好!作为校长,我非常自豪地欢迎你们来到这所大学。你们所取得的成就是你们自己多年努力的结果,也是你们的父母和老师们多年努力的结果。在这所大学里,我们承诺将使你们学有所成。 2在欢迎你们到来的这一刻,我想起自己高中毕业时的情景,还有妈妈为我和爸爸拍的合影。妈妈吩咐我们:“姿势自然点。”“等一等,”爸爸说,“把我递给他闹钟的情景拍下来。”在大学期间,那个闹钟每天早晨叫醒我。至今它还放在我办公室的桌子上。 3让我来告诉你们一些你们未必预料得到的事情。你们将会怀念以前的生活习惯,怀念父母曾经提醒你们要刻苦学习、取得佳绩。你们可能因为高中生活终于结束而喜极而泣,你们的父母也可能因为终于不用再给你们洗衣服而喜极而泣!但是要记住:未来是建立在过去扎实的基础上的。 4对你们而言,接下来的四年将会是无与伦比的一段时光。在这里,你们拥有丰富的资源:有来自全国各地的有趣的学生,有学识渊博又充满爱心的老师,有综合性图书馆,有完备的运动设施,还有针对不同兴趣的学生社团——从文科社团到理科社团、到社区服务等等。你们将自由地探索、学习新科目。你们要学着习惯点灯熬油,学着结交充满魅力的人,学着去追求新的爱好。我想鼓励你们充分利用这一特殊的经历,并用你们的干劲和热情去收获这一机会所带来的丰硕成果。 5有这么多课程可供选择,你可能会不知所措。你不可能选修所有的课程,但是要尽可能体验更多的课程!大学里有很多事情可做可学,每件事情都会为你提供不同视角来审视世界。如果我只能给你们一条选课建议的话,那就是:挑战自己!不要认为你早就了解自己对什么样的领域最感兴趣。选择一些你从未接触过的领域的课程。这样,你不仅会变得更加博学,而且更有可能发现一个你未曾想到的、能成就你未来的爱好。一个绝佳的例子就是时装设计师王薇薇,她最初学的是艺术史。随着时间的推移,王薇薇把艺术史研究和对时装的热爱结合起来,并将其转化为对设计的热情,从而使她成为全球闻名的设计师。 6在大学里,一下子拥有这么多新鲜体验可能不会总是令人愉快的。在你的宿舍楼里,住在你隔壁寝室的同学可能会反复播放同一首歌,令你头痛欲裂!你可能喜欢早起,而你的室友却是个夜猫子!尽管如此,你和你的室友仍然可能成

新视野大学英语2课文翻译(Unit1-Unit7) Unit 1 Section A 时间观念强的美国人 Para. 1 美国人认为没有人能停止不前。如果你不求进取,你就会落伍。这种态度造就了一个投身于研究、实验和探索的民族。时间是美国人注意节约的两个要素之一,另一个是劳力。 Para. 2 人们一直说:“只有时间才能支配我们。”人们似乎是把时间当作一个差不多是实实在在的东西来对待的。我们安排时间、节约时间、浪费时间、挤抢时间、消磨时间、缩减时间、对时间的利用作出解释;我们还要因付出时间而收取费用。时间是一种宝贵的资源,许多人都深感人生的短暂。时光一去不复返。我们应当让每一分钟都过得有意义。 Para. 3 外国人对美国的第一印象很可能是:每个人都匆匆忙忙——常常处于压力之下。城里人看上去总是在匆匆地赶往他们要去的地方,在商店里他们焦躁不安地指望店员能马上来为他们服务,或者为了赶快买完东西,用肘来推搡他人。白天吃饭时人们也都匆匆忙忙,这部分地反映出这个国家的生活节奏。工作时间被认为是宝贵的。Para. 3b 在公共用餐场所,人们都等着别人吃完后用餐,以便按时赶回去工作。你还会发现司机开车很鲁莽,人们推搡着在你身边过去。你会怀念微笑、简短的交谈以及与陌生人的随意闲聊。不要觉得这是针对你个人的,这是因为人们非常珍惜时间,而且也不喜欢他人“浪费”时间到不恰当的地步。 Para. 4 许多刚到美国的人会怀念诸如商务拜访等场合开始时的寒暄。他们也会怀念那种一边喝茶或咖啡一边进行的礼节性交流,这也许是他们自己国家的一种习俗。他们也许还会怀念在饭店或咖啡馆里谈生意时的那种轻松悠闲的交谈。一般说来,美国人是不会在如此轻松的环境里通过长时间的闲聊来评价他们的客人的,更不用说会在增进相互间信任的过程中带他们出去吃饭,或带他们去打高尔夫球。既然我们通常是通过工作而不是社交来评估和了解他人,我们就开门见山地谈正事。因此,时间老是在我们心中的耳朵里滴滴答答地响着。 Para. 5 因此,我们千方百计地节约时间。我们发明了一系列节省劳力的装置;我们通过发传真、打电话或发电子邮件与他人迅速地进行交流,而不是通过直接接触。虽然面对面接触令人愉快,但却要花更多的时间, 尤其是在马路上交通拥挤的时候。因此,我们把大多数个人拜访安排在下班以后的时间里或周末的社交聚会上。 Para. 6 就我们而言,电子交流的缺乏人情味与我们手头上事情的重要性之间很少有或完全没有关系。在有些国家, 如果没有目光接触,就做不成大生意,这需要面对面的交谈。在美国,最后协议通常也需要本人签字。然而现在人们越来越多地在电视屏幕上见面,开远程会议不仅能解决本国的问题,而且还能通过卫星解决国际问题。

新视野大学英语3第三版课文翻译 Unit 1 The Way to Success 课文A Never, ever give up! 永不言弃! As a young boy, Britain's great Prime Minister, Sir Winston Churchill, attended a public school called Harrow. He was not a good student, and had he not been from a famous family, he probably would have been removed from the school for deviating from the rules. Thankfully, he did finish at Harrow and his errors there did not preclude him from going on to the university. He eventually had a premier army career whereby he was later elected prime minister. He achieved fame for his wit, wisdom, civic duty, and abundant courage in his refusal to surrender during the miserable dark days of World War II. His amazing determination helped motivate his entire nation and was an inspiration worldwide. Toward the end of his period as prime minister, he was invited to address the patriotic young boys at his old school, Harrow. The headmaster said, "Young gentlemen, the greatest speaker of our time, will be here in a few days to address you, and you should obey whatever sound advice he may give you." The great day arrived. Sir Winston stood up, all five feet, five inches and 107 kilos of him, and gave this short, clear-cut speech: "Young men, never give up. Never give up! Never give up! Never, never, never, never!" 英国的伟大首相温斯顿·丘吉尔爵士,小时候在哈罗公学上学。当时他可不是个好学生,要不是出身名门,他可能早就因为违反纪律被开除了。谢天谢地,他总算从哈罗毕业了,在那里犯下的错误并没影响到他上大学。后来,他凭着军旅生涯中的杰出表现当选为英国首相。他的才思、智慧、公民责任感以及在二战痛苦而黑暗的时期拒绝投降的无畏勇气,为他赢得了美名。他非凡的决心,不仅激励了整个民族,还鼓舞了全世界。 在他首相任期即将结束时,他应邀前往母校哈罗公学,为满怀报国之志的同学们作演讲。校长说:“年轻的先生们,当代最伟大的演说家过几天就会来为你们演讲,他提出的任何中肯的建议,你们都要听从。”那个激动人心的日子终于到了。温斯顿爵士站了起来——他只有5 英尺5 英寸高,体重却有107 公斤。他作了言简意赅的讲话:“年轻人,要永不放弃。永不放弃!永不放弃!永不,永不,永不,永不!” Personal history, educational opportunity, individual dilemmas - none of these can inhibit a strong spirit committed to success. No task is too hard. No amount of preparation is too long or too difficult. Take the example of two of the most scholarly scientists of our age, Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison. Both faced immense obstacles and extreme criticism. Both were called "slow to learn" and written off as idiots by their teachers. Thomas Edison ran away from school because his teacher whipped him repeatedly for asking too many questions. Einstein didn't speak fluently until he was almost nine years old and was such a poor student that some thought he was unable to learn. Yet both boys' parents believed in them. They worked intensely each day with their sons, and the boys learned to never bypass the long hours of hard work that they needed to succeed. In the end, both Einstein and Edison overcame their childhood persecution and went on to achieve magnificent discoveries that benefit the entire world today. Consider also the heroic example of Abraham Lincoln, who faced substantial hardships, failures and repeated misfortunes in his lifetime. His background was certainly not glamorous. He was raised in a very poor family with only one year of formal education. He failed in business twice, suffered a nervous breakdown when his first love died suddenly and lost eight political

第10课 日本的季节 日本的一年有春、夏、秋、冬四个季节。 3月、4月和5月这三个月是春季。春季是个暖和的好季节。桃花、樱花等花儿开得很美。人们在4月去赏花。 6月到8月是夏季。夏季非常闷热。人们去北海道旅游。7月和8月是暑假,年轻人去海边或山上。也有很多人去攀登富士山。富士山是日本最高的山。 9月、10月和11月这3个月是秋季。秋季很凉爽,晴朗的日子较多。苹果、桔子等许多水果在这个季节成熟。 12月到2月是冬季。日本的南部冬天不太冷。北部非常冷,下很多雪。去年冬天东京也很冷。今年大概不会那么冷吧。如果冷的话,人们就使用暖气炉。 第12课 乡下 我爷爷住哎乡下。今天,我要去爷爷家。早上天很阴,但中午天空开始变亮,天转好了。我急急忙忙吃完午饭,坐上了电车。 现在,电车正行驶在原野上。窗外,水田、旱地连成一片。汽车在公路上奔驰。 这时,电车正行驶在大桥上。下面河水在流动。河水很清澈,可以清澈地看见河底。可以看见鱼在游动。远处,一个小孩在挥手。他身旁,牛、马在吃草。 到了爷爷居住的村子。爷爷和奶奶来到门口等着我。爷爷的房子是旧房子,但是很大。登上二楼,大海就在眼前。海岸上,很多人正在全力拉缆绳。渐渐地可以看见网了。网里有很多鱼。和城市不同,乡下的大自然真是很美。 第13课 暑假 大概没有什么比暑假更令学生感到高兴的了。大学在7月初,其他学校在二十四日左右进入暑假。暑假大约1个半月。 很多人利用这个假期去海边、山上,或者去旅行。学生中,也有人去打工。学生由于路费等只要半价,所以在学期间去各地旅行。因此,临近暑假时,去北海道的列车上就挤满了这样的人。从炎热的地方逃避到凉爽的地方去,这是很自然的事。一般在1月、最迟在2月底之前就要预定旅馆。不然的话可能会没有地方住。 暑假里,山上、海边、湖里、河里会出现死人的事,这种事故都是由于不注意引起的。大概只能每个人自己多加注意了。 在东京附近,镰仓等地的海面不起浪,因此挤满了游泳的人。也有人家只在夏季把海边的房子租下来。 暑假里,学校的老师给学生布置作业,但是有的学生叫哥哥或姐姐帮忙。 第14课 各式各样的学生 我就读的大学都有各种各样的学生入学。学生有的是中国人,有的是美国人,有的是英国人。既有年轻的,也有不年轻的。有胖的学生,也有瘦的学生。学生大多边工作边学习。因此,大家看上去都很忙。经常有人边听课边打盹。 我为了学习日本先进的科学技术和日本文化来到日本。预定在这所大学学习3年。既然特意来了日本,所以每天都很努力学习。即便如此,考试之前还是很紧张。其他学生也是这

教育界的科技革命 如果让生活在年的人来到我们这个时代,他会辨认出我们当前课堂里发生的许多事情——那盛行的讲座、对操练的强调、从基础读本到每周的拼写测试在内的教学材料和教学活动。可能除了教堂以外,很少有机构像主管下一代正规教育的学校那样缺乏变化了。 让我们把上述一贯性与校园外孩子们的经历作一番比较吧。在现代社会,孩子们有机会接触广泛的媒体,而在早些年代这些媒体简直就是奇迹。来自过去的参观者一眼就能辨认出现在的课堂,但很难适应现今一个岁孩子的校外世界。 学校——如果不是一般意义上的教育界——天生是保守的机构。我会在很大程度上为这种保守的趋势辩护。但变化在我们的世界中是如此迅速而明确,学校不可能维持现状或仅仅做一些表面的改善而生存下去。的确,如果学校不迅速、彻底地变革,就有可能被其他较灵活的机构取代。 计算机的变革力 当今时代最重要的科技事件要数计算机的崛起。计算机已渗透到我们生活的诸多方面,从交通、电讯到娱乐等等。许多学校当然不能漠视这种趋势,于是也配备了计算机和网络。在某种程度上,这些科技辅助设施已被吸纳到校园生活中,尽管他们往往只是用一种更方便、更有效的模式教授旧课程。 然而,未来将以计算机为基础组织教学。计算机将在一定程度上允许针对个人的授课,这种授课形式以往只向有钱人提供。所有的学生都会得到符合自身需要的、适合自己学习方法和进度的课程设置,以及对先前所学材料、课程的成绩记录。 毫不夸张地说,计算机科技可将世界上所有的信息置于人们的指尖。这既是幸事又是灾难。我们再也无须花费很长时间查找某个出处或某个人——现在,信息的传递是瞬时的。不久,我们甚至无须键入指令,只需大声提出问题,计算机就会打印或说出答案,这样,人们就可实现即时的"文化脱盲"。 美中不足的是,因特网没有质量控制手段;"任何人都可以拨弄"。信息和虚假信息往往混杂在一起,现在还没有将网上十分普遍的被歪曲的事实和一派胡言与真实含义区分开来的可靠手段。要识别出真的、美的、好的信息,并挑出其中那些值得知晓的, 这对人们构成巨大的挑战。 对此也许有人会说,这个世界一直充斥着错误的信息。的确如此,但以前教育当局至少能选择他们中意的课本。而今天的形势则是每个人都拥有瞬时可得的数以百万计的信息源,这种情况是史无前例的。 教育的客户化 与以往的趋势不同,从授权机构获取证书可能会变得不再重要。每个人都能在模拟的环境中自学并展示个人才能。如果一个人能像早些时候那样"读法律",然后通过计算机模拟的实践考试展现自己的全部法律技能,为什么还要花万美元去上法学院呢?用类似的方法学开飞机或学做外科手术不同样可行吗? 在过去,大部分教育基本是职业性的:目的是确保个人在其年富力强的整个成人阶段能可靠地从事某项工作。现在,这种设想有了缺陷。很少有人会一生只从事一种职业;许多人都会频繁地从一个职位、公司或经济部门跳到另一个。 在经济中,这些新的、迅速变换的角色的激增使教育变得大为复杂。大部分老成持重的教师和家长对帮助青年一代应对这个会经常变换工作的世界缺乏经验。由于没有先例,青少年们只有自己为快速变化的"事业之路"和生活状况作准备。
