The Use of Motion Pictures of Fluid-Flow Models in Steelmaking Research

D. K. Griffiths, E. P. Morgan

Gas and airflow patterns in blast-furnace stoves and open-hearth furnaces were simulated by means of suitable fluids in transparent-plastic scale models. The patterns were visualized by means of chemical indicators, birefringent liquids and tracer particles. Motion pictures were useful, not only for records of patterns and aid in analyzing data, but also for time magnification of events too rapid for visual observation.
