Abstract

Experimental studies of flows generated in a 0.30 scale water model of a 150 ton steelmaking ladle are reported. These were used to test the adequacy of a generalized two-dimensional computational scheme for predicting flows generated by fully submerged and partially submerged gas injection lances. The roles of turbulence models and grid configuration were assessed. Predictions for flow fields generated in a 150 ton steelworks ladle with and without tapered side walls, and with and without surface baffles around the rising plume were considered.
