Comparison of Measured and Numerically Simulated Angular Velocity of Magnetically Stirred Liquid Ga-ln Alloy

Article Preview

Abstract:

A measurement of the angular velocity/revolution number of magnetically stirred liquid gallium-indium alloy was realized with newly developed angular velocity measuring equipment. To get additional information about the flow of the melt, a numerical simulation model was performed with ANSYS FLUENT 13.0 with a single phase 2D k-ε turbulence solver. The aim was to reproduce the flow as accurate as possible, so the measured and computed angular velocity data was compared, to see if the system can be modeled fairly well.
