Abstract
This paper deals with physical modeling and control of dynamic foaming in t he LD-converter process. An experimental setup consisting of a water model, digital signal processor, and PC hardware is built and shown to be useful for studying dynamic foaming. Furthermore, a foam height estimation algorit hm is presented and validated through experiments. Finally, sound signals f rom the LD-converter and water model are compared and similarities between them are found.
