An impinging gas jet on a molten bath having a slag layer on top is en
countered in various metal processing operations. The impinging region
was studied using a physical model consisting of an air jet and water
bath. Kerosene and corn oil were used as the second layer to investig
ate the role of the slag layer properties on interface shape and bath
circulation. The interface shapes were measured both photographically
and by using a surface-tracking resistance probe. The limiting conditi
on at which the jet breaks through the kerosene or corn oil layer and
reaches the water layer was determined experimentally. A phenomenologi
cal model for the prediction of penetration depth is developed for bot
h short and long jet heights for liquid baths with and without a secon
d liquid layer on top.
