Abstract

Electromagnetic buoyancy force causes the movement of non-conducive particles in a conducting liquid under electromagnetic field. The phenomenon allows filtration of small inclusions from molten metals. This paper presents a mathematical model of the filtration process under alternating electromagnetic field and the methodology for maximizing its efficiency.
