A general three‐dimensional model is developed for the multi‐phase flow resulting from the agitation and mixing of metallurgical systems with gas plumes. This model consists of transport equations for the variables of each phase which are then coupled through interaction parameters. The model is applied to three different systems namely, gas‐stirred ladles, emulsification of slag‐metal systems and mixing in shallow metal baths with multiple gas jets.
