MHD in the Electro-Slag Remelting process
3D simulation of the MHD in the Electro-Slag Remelting process. ESR process uses strong currents to remelt metallic electrodes. The Lorentz force pushes the slag and the metallic faucets towards the centre.
MHD during the Continuous Casting Process
3D simulation of the MHD during the Continuous Casting Process. Depending on the applied magnetic field intensity, the induced electric currents (left picture) are tightly interacting with the turbulent flow (right figure) due to the action of the Lorentz force.
MHD Instabilities of Bath
nstabilities in the electrolysis Hall–Héroult process. A liquid metal jet is generated when a sufficiently strong electric current is passed through the bath/liquid aluminium interface. The electromagnetic pinch instability breaks the jet into small droplets.
Electro-vortex flow
3D simulation of an electro-vortex flow. An electro-vortex forms when a strong electric current is passed through an electrode immersed in an electrically conducting liquid.
