This page is dedicated to the memory of Professor Keith Brimacombe of the University of British Columbia.

Description

The injection of gas streams into molten metals is used extensively in the process metallurgical industry as a means of refining and agitation. The two-phase flow equations were solved for both the time-dependent (bubbling) and time-independent (jetting) regimes.
