Abstract

3D numerical simulation of the liquid metal flow affected by electromagnetic field in the Annular Linear Induction Pump (ALIP) is performed using modified ANSYS package. ANSYS/EMAG has been modified to take into account arbitrary velocity field at the calculation of the electromagnetic field and has been unified with CFX to provide integration of all the system of ​magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations defining dynamics of the conductive media in the variable electromagnetic field. The non-stationary problem is solved taking into account the influence of the metal flow on the electromagnetic field. The pump performance curve and the dependence of the pump efficiency on a flow rate are obtained.
