The underside of film is well wetted by the liquid. The top surface is, however, dry. During flooding of liquid metal over the surface of a film, air is trapped in between the dry sides of two overlapping films.

Re = Vd / n
Re < 2000, smooth, laminar, turbulent-free flow Re > 2000, turbulent flow
The flow behaviour of liquid considered here takes place in the bulk of the liquid, underneath the surface. During such turbulence, the surface of liquid may remain quite tranquil. Turbulence as predicted and measured by Reynolds number is therefore strictly bulk turbulence.

Higher-melting-point heavy phases may be precipitated on to the floating oxides, which form defects with large, coarse crystals of heavy intermetallic phase, together with entrained oxide film and associated porosity.

Fluidity
The fluidity of clean melt is always higher than that of dirty melt, and can be cast at a lower temperature. The cumulative benefits are valuable. (oxide free casting, high properties; low porosity, high properties; low pouring temperature, finer grain size, high properties)
