Numerical simulation of Argon–Molten steel two-phase flow in an industrial single snorkel refining furnace with bubble expansion, coalescence, and breakup

The single snorkel refining furnace (SSRF) is widely used in secondary refining for the miniaturization of special steel. In this study, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model, coupled with population balance equations (PBEs), is built to describe the argon–molten steel two-phase flow in an indu...
