After a soft slab release, disintegration of the slab and air entrainment are very rapid and as the avalanche develops much of the mass is suspended well above ground level. As a result of the increased mean distance between snow particles in the flowing/air suspension, flow height increases, velocity increases, the avalanche assumes the form of a fluid... In some cases a large mass of the flowing snow is whirled into suspension and held above ground level by turbulence as a powder avalanche. The denser mass, comprised of large snow particles, remains closer to the ground and is called a flowing avalanche. 5, record 2, English, - flowing%20avalanche

The casting speed during thin slab casting is... faster than that during conventional casting, and, therefore, the mould level fluctuation could be problematic. This fluctuation arose from the unbalanced feed of the liquid steel to the mould and the local disturbance of the flow pattern in the mould. Electromagnetic brake ruler(EMBR) has been found effective in stabilizing the fluctuation and, thereby, in reducing the breakout and the transverse crack formation. 1, record 3, English, - electromagnetic%20brake%20ruler
