Abstract: Some embodiments of the disclosure provide a method for homogeneously controlling a transverse temperature during laminar cooling of a hot-rolled strip. In an embodiment, a mathematical model of middle convexity cooling in a water volume is established by designing different types of middle convexity water cooling heat transfer coefficient curves. Process procedures and equipment parameters of the hot-rolled strip during the laminar cooling are considered to restore the actual situation on site. Through finite element calculation, an optimal middle convexity water cooling heat transfer coefficient curve is obtained. Process parameters corresponding to middle convexity water volume distribution during the laminar cooling (a water flow density) are further obtained to guide a water volume control process.
