Stirring flow of liquid metal generating by low-frequency modulated traveling magnetic field in rectangular cell

[摘要] In the present work the influence of low frequency modulation of a travelling magnetic field (TMF) on a process of generation of electro-vortex flows in electrically conducting media are numerically and experimentally investigated. The measurements are carried out on a low melting temperature GaZnSn alloy by means of Ultrasonic Doppler Velocimetry. For numerical simulation, Comsol Multiphysics software was used. The dependencies of average and pulsating Reynolds numbers on the magnitude of electromagnetic impact and two modes of low frequency modulation are considered. A positive influence of reversed TMF modulations on the stirring process is determined. In particular the formation of a small-scale vortex structure in the main volume of liquid media.
