Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to determine how the shape of the container affects the efficiency of a traveling magnetic field (TMF) stirring.

Design/methodology/approach

The modeling approach is based on finite element software Comsol which includes harmonic electromagnetic (EM), transient CFD and particle tracing modules. For evaluating efficiency of stirring the particle, homogenization parameter is used.

Findings

It has been determined that the use of an elliptical cylinder-shaped vessel allows better heat removal from the side surface and, at the same time, the stirring efficiency does not drop significantly.

Practical implications

The results of the work can be used in the design of EM stirring installations in which exothermic reactions occur.

Originality/value

The transient simulation of particle transport in a TMF-driven melt flow gives the opportunity to estimate the efficiency of stirring process in different vessel shapes.
