A Water Model Study of Simultaneously Releasing Multi-Particles onto a Molten Metal Bath

Abstract

Uniform dispersion of refining agents in a molten iron bath is of practical importance for efficient desulfurization. As a fundamental study of enabling uniform dispersion, a simple method was proposed to simultaneously release multi-particles in the atmosphere. As a first step, two solid spheres of different diameters were released onto a water bath. The dynamic behavior of the spheres entering the bath and associated air cavity formation were observed with a high-speed camera.
