In dispersed gas-liquid flow, the gas bubble diameter distribution plays a significant role in the phase structure and interphase forces, and determines the multiphase hydrodynamic behaviors. In the steel refining process, argon gas stirring has been widely employed to homogenize the chemical composition of alloy elements and temperature, remove inclusions and enhance the rates of refining reactions. The bubble plume is successively formed at the exit of the bottom nozzle. Then they rise upward and entrain the surrounding molten steel into their wakes. During the bubble flotation, the aggregation and breakage happens and causes a wide range bubble size distribution. Still, it is a significant unresolved issue in ladle with gas stirring. Calculation of the bubble size distribution and understanding of bubble aggregation and breakage after bubble come out of the plug are important for reasons as follows: the bubble size is significantly modified by the injection system and flow rates, and it will directly influence the buoyancy and also influence the physical phenomena. It is expected that fine and well-distributed bubbles are good for inclusion removal and homogenizing. With a high gas flow rate, the rising gas bubbles can break through the slag layer, strengthen Water Model and CFD-PBM Coupled Model of Gas-Liquid-Slag Three-Phase Flow in Ladle Metallurgy
