Numerical Modeling of Open-Eye Formation and Mixing Time in Argon Stirred Industrial Ladle

In secondary metallurgy, argon gas stirring and alloying of elements are very important in determining the quality of steel. Argon gas is injected through the nozzle located at the bottom of the ladle into the molten steel bath; this gas breaks up into gas bubbles, rising upwards and breaking the sl...
