Modeling & Observation of Electromechanical Interactions in the Magnetic Confinement and Shaping of Molten Metals

本课程将研究金属熔体的磁悬浮、约束和成形。磁场和相应金属几何形状的建模将建立在以前工作的基础上，以开发计算源配置的工具，并开发改进的磁流体动力相互作用和不稳定机制模型。这些模型将通过从流动的金属流中悬浮成形薄带的实验研究来验证。最初将使用低熔点的金属。随后，这些研究将扩大到将钢水纳入中等规模的试验。

Magnetic levitation, confinement and shaping of molten metals will be studied. Modeling of the magnetic field and corresponding metal geometries will build on previous work to develop tools for computing source configurations and to develop improved models of magnetohydrodynamic interactions and instability mechanisms. The models will be validated by experimental studies of the levitation-shaping of thin strips from a flowing metal stream. Initially low-melting metals will be used. Later the studies will be expanded to include liquid steel in medium scale tests.
