A two-stage bubble formation model is presented for constant-flow conditions to predict the size of bubbles formed at a single downward-facing nozzle submerged in liquids or liquid metals.
Agreement between results calculated by this model and experimental data for water was fairly good over a wide range of experimental conditions, but not good for copper melt. The reasons for this discrepancy are discussed.
