Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this study is research and development of the magnetohydrodynamics (MHD)-vortex technology.

Design/methodology/approach

The main instruments of research are mathematical modeling. For mathematical modeling used numerical and analytical both methods. For verification was made small copy of facility with forming of vortex in rotating magnetic field.

Findings

The design and manufacture of the industrial unit for melting small metal waste in a gas-fired smelt furnace has been completed.

Originality/value

Here shows new algorithm for engineering calculation of arc induction systems with take into account longitudinal edge effect and discrete distribution of current layers. Also shows verification of numerical results. Presented new MHD-technology for forming vortex in electromagnetic field.
