Aspects of Energy Transformation and Energy Control Capabilities in Electric Machines with a Liquid-Metal Working Body

Abstract

The article contains mathematical simulation of the aluminum melt mixing in the alloying furnace bath exposed to the travelling electromagnetic field of MHD stirrer. Based on the designed mathematical model, there has been assessed the impact of the normal component of electromagnetic forces in the process of MHD-stirring the liquid aluminium. The analysis has been completed on the computational simulation results at different ratio adopted for the tangential and normal components of the electromagnetic force and the have been proposed recommendations for effective stirring of aluminum melts.
