Based on the operating conditions of oxygen lance utilized for a 50 t converter in Tangsteel, gas jet flow fields of three types of oxygen lances were simulated by FLUENT software. The influence of lance configuration and lance level on penetrating area was studied through cold model experiment. The results showed that the gas flow velocities of fourhole, variable angle fourhole and fivehole oxygen lances declined rapidly with an increase in gas jet length within 1 m, 1 m and 08 m, respectively. Besides, the multi gas streams sprayed from these three lances should be syncretized at 16 m, 17 m and 14 m, respectively. At the highest lance level, the effective penetrating area of these three lances could be 0255 m2, 0385 m2 and 00907 m2, respectively. It was suggested that the effective penetrating area of variable angle fourhole oxygen lance was the biggest, while that of fivehole oxygen lance was the least. The validity of numerical simulation results was proved through cold model experiment. The lance level was suggested to be controlled in the range of 1-16 m, 1-17 m and 08-14 m for the fourhole, variable angle fourhole and fivehole oxygen lances, respectively.
