A dimensionless penetration depth equation related to modified Froude number, Reynolds number and density ratio of gas-liquid was established by dimensional analysis and Buckingham pi theorem. Based on the experimental data of side-blown penetration, extracted by MATLAB digital image processing algorithm in this scaled water model experiment, a dimensionless expression which serves as a convenient way to determine the penetration depth under different operation conditions was developed by the Least Square Estimation (LES) method. Meanwhile, detailed comparison of different empirical equations from this study and other related researches has also been sufficiently investigated. At last, the influence of each dimensionless number on the penetration depth was discussed by partial correlation analysis.
