Mixing time in a BOF process has been studied using a 1/14 water‐air model. The study shows that for a simulated cold model, mixing time is independent of jet Froude number. For a partially simulated model, mixing time was found to be inversely proportional to square root of bath height to diameter ratio. This is in agreement with the similarity condition.
