Abstract

A computational investigation was carried out in a contactless electromagnetic induction flowmeter to measure the velocity of molten aluminum flowing though a ceramic duct. This paper includes the simulation and the experimental validation using as a reference the electromagnetic induction flowmeter and the experimental test. The results make it possible to demonstrate the reliability of the simulation of the electromagnetic induction flowmeter, using ANSYS. This work provides the process for the simulation of an contacless electromagnetic induction flowmeter to measure the flowrate of molten aluminum in the EPGS (Electromagnetic Pump Green Sand) casting process.
