Abstract

Gas injection techniques have been extensively used for current steelmaking processes, such as converters, ladles, RH degassing processes, and other metals refining processes. In order to enhance the efficiency of these processes, precise information on the behavior of rising bubbles in a molten metal bath and resultant molten metal flow induced by the bubbles is required. Since it is difficult to study bubble and liquid flow characteristics using actual processes, many experimental and theoretical model investigations have been carried out. Details of the previous investigations should be referred to, for example, a review article by Mazumdar and Guthrie [1].
