Simulation of continuous casting process with electromagnetic influence to the ingot liquid phase

摘要

This paper presents mathematical simulation of hydrodynamic, electromagnetic and thermal processes at continuous casting with electromagnetic stirring of the liquid phase of aluminum ingot. As used electromagnetic device is a cylindrical linear induction motor. Calculations were performed by finite element method. The study result is to obtain a mathematical model of a particular technological process, including such items as a phase transition (liquid/solid), dependence of the electrical conductivity from physical state and temperature, solidification latent heat, etc. This model will allow produce a various investigations and development of the casting technology with electromagnetic influence.
