In order to study the flow field, temperature field, and inclusion removal in a new induction heating tundish with bent channels, a three-dimensional (3D) transient mathematical model is established. The effects of both the channel radius and heating power on the multi-physical field and inclusion removal in the bent channels’ induction heating tundish are investigated. The results show that the tundish with the channel radius of 3 m shows better flow characteristics than those with the channel radii of 4 m and 2 m. With the increase of channel length, the heating efficiency increases at first, and then decreases, while the radius of 3 m is the best one for heating efficiency. After all the inclusions are placed into the tundish, the radii of 3 m and 2 m show good efficiency regarding inclusion removal, while it is poor when the radius is 4 m. Therefore, 3 m is the optimal radius of the channel in this work. Under the optimal channel radius, the heating power of 800 kW seems better than those of 600 kW and 1000 kW on flow characteristics control in the tundish. The temperature in the receiving chamber rises gradually and distributes quite uniformly with the increasing heating power, and the removal rate of inclusions increases with the increasing heating power.

Coupling Factors

In this paper, a 15 KW in-wheel motor (IWM) is taken as the research object, and the coupling factors among the electromagnetic field, temperature field and flow field are analyzed, and the strong and weak coupling factors between the three fields are clarified, and by identifying the strong and weak coupling factors between the three fields, a three-field coupling analysis model for IWM with appropriate complexity is established, and the validity of the model is verified. In a certain driving condition, the electromagnetic field, temperature field and flow field characteristics of IWM are analyzed with the multi-field coupling model. The result shows that, after the IWM runs 8440 s under driving conditions, in this paper, the IWM electromagnetic torque of the rated working condition is 134.2 Nm, and IWM the electromagnetic torque of the peak working condition is 451.36 Nm, and the power requirement of the motor can be guaranteed. The highest temperature of the IWM is 150 °C, which does not exceed the insulation grade requirements of the motor (155 °C), the highest temperature of the permanent magnet (PM) is 65.6 °C, and it does not exceed the highest operating temperature of the PM, and ensures the accurate calculation of components loss and the temperature of the motor. It can be found, through research, that the electromagnetic torque difference between unidirectional coupling and bidirectional coupling is 3.2%, the maximum temperature difference is 7.98% in the three-field coupling analysis of IWM under rated working conditions. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the influence of coupling factors on the properties of motor materials when analyzing the electromagnetic field, temperature field and flow field of IWM; it also provides some reference value for the simulation analysis of IWM in the future.

The axial and radial temperature distributions of an induction heating workpiece considerably impact the subsequent nitriding process. To obtain a satisfactory temperature distribution, an equal pitch coil, a variable pitch coil, and a variable radius coil were designed. Furthermore, an induction heating model that exhibits electromagnetic and temperature field coupling was established; thus, the effects of the current density and frequency on the heating efficiency and temperature distribution of the workpiece were analyzed and compared. In addition, an induction heating experiment was conducted to verify the model. According to the numerical results, the variable radius coil can reduce the axial temperature difference in comparison with equal pitch coil and variable pitch coil. Hence, the workpiece heated using the variable radius coil can achieve a better temperature distribution when compared with those heated by the equal pitch coil and variable pitch coil, with appropriate current density and current frequency values.

Tundish plasma heating is an effective method for achieving steady casting with low superheat and constant temperature. In order to study the flow field, temperature field in tundish heated by plasma, a three-dimensional transient mathematical model was established in the present work. A four-strand T-type tundish in a steelmaking plant was used to explore the changes in the flow field and temperature field of molten steel in the tundish under different plasma heating powers. The results showed that plasma heating affected the flow state of molten steel. It could eliminate the short-circuit flow at outlet. When the plasma heating was 500 kW, the molten steel had an obvious upward flow. The turbulence intensity was improved and distributed evenly with an increase in plasma heating power. In the prototype tundish, the temperature of the outlet was dropped by nearly 2–3 K within 300 s. With the increase of plasma heating power, the low temperature area in the tundish gradually was decreased. When the heating power was 1000 kW, the temperature difference of two outlets was 0.5 K and the overall temperature distribution was more uniform. The research results have a certain guiding significance for the selection of the actual plasma heating power on site.
