Lorentz Force Velocimetry (LFV) is a non-contact electromagnetic flow measurement technique to measure the flow rate of aggressive or high-temperature molten metal such as steel or aluminum and to give information about the local flow. In this paper, we present an extension of the LFV based on the Lorentz…
Electromagnetic boosting (EMB) is a new and innovative approach for improving the flow patterns within electrically boosted continuous glass-melting tanks. EMB is basically achieved by electromagnetic (Lorentz) forces that are orientated against the main flow direction of the glass melt in the tank.…
This thesis aims at theoretically and numerically investigating the optimization of the novel non-contact measurement method called Lorentz force velocimetry (LFV). LVF is based on the measurements of the Lorentz force acting on a magnet system close to electrically conducting media. Fluids with a low…
Abstract:
The use of Lorentz Force Velocimetry (LFV) for low conducting material has been investigated numerically. A numerical model of LFV was developed using COMSOL Multiphysics software. The main goal of the investigation was to optimize the magnet system for fixed velocity (v=5m/s) and conductivity…
