3D structure of the clog is considered for modelling the flow and solidification in the open pores/channels of the clog. It is verified that solidification cannot occur before clogging if the molten steel has sufficient superheat and the SEN is properly preheated. However, solidification plays a role in stabilizing/strengthening the clog structure.
