The velocity measurement was conducted by the ultrasonic Doppler velocimeter （UDV） under various magnetic distributions and flux densities. The impingement intensity and the scouring intensity of the liquid metal to the narrow wall of the mold were calculated based on the measured data, and the influence of the magnetic flux density on the liquid metal flow in the mold was analyzed. The results showed that the surface of the liquid metal became more active when only the lower magnet was assembled, and the surface fluctuation was suppressed when further applying the upper magnetic field. It was indicated that when the upper and lower magnetic flux densities were 0.18 T and 0.5 T, respectively, the optimum conditions could be obtained, under which the free surface fluctuation could be suppressed, and a flow recirculation could rapidly form.展开更多

The effect of the magnetic field on the flow was investigated using mercury. The results show that the magnetic field can not only dampen the flow of liquid metal but also change its direction, and then redistribute the flow in the mold. When maintaining a constant distance between magnets, the fluctuation of the free surface is dampened because of the increasing magnetic flux density. The flow at the free surface is improved, and the penetration depth of the downward stream is reduced. The decrease in the dis- tance between magnets promotes the brake effect and the flow is dampened in the upper eddy.展开更多
