data within 10 pct in all cases. When similar experiments,
at the same immersion depths, were performed with 0 deg
and upward 15 deg nozzles, the surface profile was found
to be distinctly different. Figure 5 shows one such meniscus
profile. Further investigation shows that in these cases, the
liquid jet directly reaches the meniscus before touching the
narrow sidewall of the mold. This results in choppy flows
and increased turbulence at the meniscus. Equation [9] is
not applicable in this case. The preceding discussion points
