Electro-hydrodynamic processes in an electromagnetic silicon crystallizer

In this publication, the issues of computer simulation electromagnetic and hydrodynamic processes in an crystallizer mold a silicon melt periodic action are considered. The crystallization process proceeds under conditions additional heating by eddy currents melt. main task interaction inductor field is to create repulsive force exclude mechanical contact between lining surface. When problem solved, heat released vector forces formed, which leads mixing liquid silicon. These affect transfer lower, upper side surfaces cylinder, shape taken To improve quality crystal structure ingot, temperature gradient formed controlling flows due thickness walls, surface removing from lower base. 
 appearance perturbing these can upset balance lead creation thermal stresses accompanied microcracks. Simultaneous modeling all occurring currently unrealizable on personal computer.
 hydrodynamics melt, several geometry options were considered, starting maximum volume phase ending with thin layer part. With conical inductor, distribution depends axial coordinate, significant decrease velocity components as decreases. results study showed rapid effect decreases slight change overall parameters process.
