We analyze the processes of modification and refinement of a melt in a casting ladle from the viewpoint of the nature, possibilities, and efficiency of their influence on the metal. The hydrodynamic processes running in the ladle are analyzed in detail by means of the physical simulation. The analysis of the results of simulations and the obtained approximate analytic model is performed for the improvement of the procedures of refinement and modification.
