The purpose of the research under consideration is to develop a mathematical model to calculate the trajectories of the ferromagnetic operating elements (millstones) of an electromagnetic mill, moving in a rotating magnetic field under electrodynamic and hydrodynamic resistance forces being limited by the space of the mill’s working chamber. The millstone motion is described through the equations of plane motion of arbitrary-shaped two-dimensional body. The driving forces of this motion are determined on the basis of the approximation of the tabulated functions connecting the module and the orientation of the equivalent force applied to the millstone, with its position in the working chamber and composite MMF phase of mill inductor winding. These tabulated functions are derived from the estimation of the magnetic field inside a working chamber with millstones, in two-dimensional quasi-stationary approximation, using FEM analysis. The publication contains the approximation algorithm for these tabulated vector functions of a vector argument, mathematical statement of millstones trajectories calculating, and analysis of mathematical experiments results that make it possible to evaluate the adequacy of the model. The developed tool enables conducting quantitative analysis of grinding/mixing process and will help to establish relationships between the electromagnetic mill design parameters and its performance.
