Magnetohydrodynamic calculation of in-mold electromagnetic stirring

Abstract

To get the optimal operation of in-mold electromagnetic stirring through the fundamental characteristics, we did the magnetohydrodynamic calculation. The electromagnetic force has the eddy distribution through the electromagnetic analysis in case of the rotating stirring mode which is thought to give the uniform velocity at surface. However, it does not much influence on the fluid dynamics, because the inertial effect and the continuity are large enough.
