Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of the rotating magnetic field of permanent magnets on the aluminium melt bath.
Design/methodology/approach
This model was developed in the ANSYS software package and is based on the application of the finite element method and finite volume.
Findings
The distribution of the velocity of the melt in a cylindrical vertical bath and the dependence of the maximum value of the melt displacement on the angular rotation velocity of the system of permanent magnets is obtained.
Originality/value
This work focusses on the interaction of the magnetic field of the moving magnets with the molten metal.
