Abstract
A simulation study was made of the jet penetration and the splashing of molten materials due to oxygen jet (slopping or spitting) in the LD converter.
By investigating the relations among the blowing conditions, the penetration depth and the splashing height, empirical formulas for these relations that are applicable to large scale apparatus were derived.
From the results of this study, an equation for estimating the penetration depth in the actual LD furnace and some knowledges useful for realizing the physical characteristics of slopping and spitting were obtained.
