Abstract

The flow pattern and local turbulence structures largely determine the performance characteristics of metallurgical operations. The transport phenomena in these processes typically have the following basic features:

  • Flows are complex and multiphase with strong turbulence.

  • Fluids are usually opaque with very high temperature. For example, the melting point of molten metal is typically above 1,000 ∘C.

  • In most cases, fluid flows are coupled with heat and mass transfer.

  • Fluid flows are usually accompanied by metallurgical reactions.

  • The walls of the reactors and pipelines are usually poorly wetted by molten metal.
