Abstract
A continuous casting nozzle includes a deflector at a bottom portion of the nozzle having a bore extending through the deflector from an open end to a closed end along a longitudinal axis and a pair of ports extending through the deflector from the bore to an outer surface of the deflector. A diameter of the bore substantially rapidly decreases along the longitudinal axis above the pair of ports such that a portion of a flow of fluid through the deflector becomes detached from a surface of the bore to thereby redirect the flow of fluid toward the longitudinal axis prior to exiting through the pair of ports.
