Experimental study of gas bubble evolution in liquid metal
The experimental results on the structure of the two-phase “liquid metal-gas” medium in vertical channels depending on the gas flow rate and channel diameter are presented. Lead-bismuth melt at a temperature of 160°C was used as a liquid medium, and argon was used as a gas phase. Data were obtained on the shape of gas bubbles, temporary changes in the gas content in channels, histograms of gas content distribution, and features of the slug flow of gas in the metal melt.
