Abstract
This paper proposes a coupled method of 3D-FEM (finite element method) and MPS (moving particle semi-implicit) method for analyzing the electromagnetic levitation of a molten metal. In this method, the magnetic field equation is calculated by FEM and fluid motion equation of a molten metal is calculated by MPS method. To verify the effectiveness of this method, it is applied to analysis of the behavior of molten metal in electromagnetic levitation.
