Abstract

A mathematical formulation is developed to describe the electromagnetic parameters and the velocity fields in an inductively stirred melt, both in the presence and the absence of shields. The theoretically predicted results are compred with experimental measurements pertaining to the induced current, the components of the magnetic flux, and the phase angle between the current and the magnetic flux. In addition, the melt velocity was also determined, using a Vives probe. The excellent agreement obtained between measurements and predictions regarding both the individual input parameters and secondary quantities, such as the electromagnetic force field and the velocity field, shows a full validation of the technique employed. It has also been demonstrated that the use of magnetic shields may be a useful way of modifying the flow patterns in these systems.
