Abstract
Most of the water modeling workV-TJ carried out so far has simulated only the flow of liquid steel, without any slag phase. But, in the actual system, a flux layer is used to cover the meniscus. Only a few investigators have made an attempt to simulate the slag phase over the metal. Sobolewski and HurtuktSl used cork pieces in their water model to simulate the slag entrainment in the melt. Tanaka et al. [91 made water modeling studies using oils as the second phase. They studied the vortex depth formed at the oilwater interface. The present work aims to characterize the complete meniscus profile in the presence of a second phase. The dimensional analysis shows that to simulate the flow of slag and metal, the model liquids should satisfy the following conditions:
