Abstract :
A finite element-finite volume coupled method is used for the computation of the parameters of a turbulent flow of conducting liquid in a 3D electromagnetic field. A finite element model in vector and scaler potential formulation has been used. The velocity u and pressure P fields are predicted with a turbulent viscosity model solved by a finite volume method. The effect of the σu×b currents (where σ denotes the electric conductivity and b the magnetic induction) on the body forces and on the velocity field has been evaluated in the case of the rotational electromagnetic stirring of square steel billets
