A big number of publications were collected to provide an overall picture of the modeling in secondary steelmaking. The referred papers could illustrate the general and typical approaches in modeling the process and sub‐processes of steelmaking. The flow, mass transfer, and heat transfer in the reactors were briefly discussed. While modeling of slag–metal interface was summarized, the strong need for further understanding of the interface was emphasized. Modeling approaches of inclusion generation, growth, and separation were also discussed. The requirement of in‐depth knowledge of these phenomena was addressed. The present review intends not only to provide a literature survey, but also to remind the researchers the importance of keeping balance between the experimental and modeling studies.
