<p>A 1:4 water model experimental platform was established based on a 135 t dual-plug bottom-blowing ladle. The plugs used were of a porous-type and two slot types (slot I and slot II). Bubble distribution, mixing time, and slag eye in the ladle’s multiphase system under various clogging ratios were investigation. Solutions were proposed to mitigate the negative impact of clogging on refining efficiency. The results indicate that the clogging of plugs significantly affects both the number and diameter distribution of bubbles, with the porous-type plug being the most affected. When the clogging percentage reaches 3/4, the maximum bubble diameter in the porous-type plug group is significantly larger than that in the slot-type plug group, and a large number of small-diameter bubbles are produced due to fragmentation. When there is no clogging, the slot I plug group shows the shortest mixing time, while the slot II plug group has the longest. After clogging, increasing the flow rate by 50 L/h can counteract the negative impact on mixing time in the porous-type and slot I plug groups, while a larger increase is required for the slot II plug group. The slag eye area decreases as the clogging percentage increases. When the clogging percentage reaches 3/4, the slag eye area for the porous, slot I, and slot II plugs decreases by approximately 24%, 14%, and 17%, respectively, and the fluctuation in the slag eye area increases significantly. This can be used as an indicator to assess the degree of clogging.</p>
