This paper deals with mathematical modelling and numerical simulation of induction heating furnaces for axisymmetric geometries. The mathematical model presented consists in a coupled thermo-magneto-hydrodynamic problem with phase change. We propose a finite element method and an iterative algorithm to solve the equations.

Numerical simulation of induction furnaces for silicon purification

Abstract

This paper deals with mathematical modelling and numerical simulation of induction heating furnaces for axisymmetric geometries. The mathematical model presented consists in a coupled thermo-magneto-hydrodynamic problem with phase change. We propose a finite element method and an iterative algorithm to solve the equations. Some numerical results for an industrial furnace used for silicon purification are shown.
