Peculiarities of Distribution of Electromagnetic and Hydrodynamic Fields for Conductive Electric Current Treatment of Melts in Different Modes

Аннотация

The peculiarities of the redistribution of electromagnetic and hydrodynamic fields for conductive electric current treatment in different modes and with various electrode systems are shown. Mathematical simulation is performed to determine that, depending on the type of the electrode system and the mode of the electric current passing through the melt, qualitatively different configurations and distributions of electric, magnetic, and hydrodynamic fields are realized in the macrovolume of the melt. The character of the distribution determines the area and degree of the impact on the object under treatment, which is decisive in the design of technologies for the electric current treatment of melts.
