Abstract

An experimental modeling is applied to investigate the formation of forms in molten aluminum By using a specially designed equipment, the effect of process variables, such as the shape of stirrer, stirring velocity and fluid viscosity, on the formation of foams were studied in the glycerine added water. Bubbles formed in water had various diameter from 1 to 10 mm and the number of bubbles was 0 to 20/$cm^2$. It turned out that among various variables the stirring velocity and fluid viscosity played important roles on the formation of bubbles. The results obtained from the model experiment were preyed to be convincible also in the real aluminum foam.
