II:5 Liquid metal flow with a free surface
|
|
In this project a numerical code is developed for computing the free surface between a liquid metal and air. In the
magnetohydrodynamical model, LES simulation is used for modelling of the turbulent, transient flow. The aim is to
understand the mechanisms of the liquid metal flow, especially the behaviour of the meniscus for different electromagnetic
processes, such as electromagnetic casting (EMC), electromagnetic braking (EMBR) and electromagnetic stirring. It is
of great importance to treat the meniscus as a free surface, since it directly influences the quality of the product. The
project is complemented with studies of active damping of the surface using a magnetic DC field. Methods will be both
experimental and theoretical, so as to complement the numerical work described above.
