Coupled Simulation of Multiple Physical Fields in a 300 kA Aluminum Electrolysis Cell
300 kA铝电解槽电、磁、流多物理场耦合仿真

The method of nodal voltage analysis and magnetic scalar potential method were utilized to develop a customized program to model the coupled electromagnetic and flow fields in a 300 kA aluminum electrolysis cell,and the flow field was simulated with the derived electromagnetic forces.From the modeling it was shown that the asymmetry of the vertical magnetic component was obvious along the x and y axes while the horizontal current exerted significant effect on the magnetic fluid flow when interacting with the vertical magnetic field.There were four large vortexes in the liquid aluminum.The calculated results were compared with the measurements.
