Abstract

A predictive model of gas stirred melt is presented. Based on the differential approach and following a review of previous models, the importance of natural convection or buoyancy driven phenomena is underscored. Predicted flow patterns are shown to be consistent with laboratory and pilot scale experiments, and with the macroscopic plume model in Part I of this paper.
