Flow streamlines plot of inside the ladle
In this paper a simulation model of a laboratory scaled induction ladle is presented. The simulation model so developed will make it feasible to receive information about the fluid flow phenomenon and thermal heat transfer.
In order to perform the numerical simulation of the furnace, physical processes involved are expressed as a coupled-nonlinear system of partial differential equations arising from a thermal-magneto-hydrodynamic problem.
Numerical simulations are performed by solving the coupled system of equations using COMSOL Multiphysics.
