Numerical Modelling of the Molten Metal Flow in a Disk Agitator Mixer

Article Preview

Abstract:

Numerical modelling of the molten metal flow in a crucible under the action of stirred disk agitator is carried out. The influence of the agitator rotational speed on the molten metal flow field is investigated. Dependences of the turbulent diffusivity and the power number on the agitator rotational speed are obtained. The effect of the interaction between the molten metal-air interface and agitator elements on the flow field in a crucible is shown.
