Fluid Flow Turbulence in the Proximities of the Metal-Slag Interface in Ladle Stirring Operations

Three-phase interactions (metal-slag-argon) in ladle stirring operations have strong effects on the metal-slag mass transfer processes. Specifically, the thickness of the slag controls the fluid turbulence to an extent that once trespassing a critical thickness, increases of stirring strength no lon...
