Abstract

The dominant dynamic similarity criterion in the modelling of two-phase flows in steel metallurgy is the modified Froude (Fr) criterion. Modifications of this criterion, depending on the purpose of the research, may take various forms. The article presents the results of experiments carried out with the application of the steel ladle water model, with the use of various modifications of Froude criterion. The results obtained allow for the classification of the tested modifications from the perspective of the research objectives.

Keywords
