Influence of Channel and Yoke Design and Clogging on Turbulent Flow and Heat Exchange in Induction Channel Furnaces

Low frequency oscillations of temperature field in the industrial induction channel furnace(ICF)with symmetrical and widened channel branches as well as different iron yoke positions are obtained using Large Eddy Simulation(LES)approach.The application of k-co Shear Stress Transport(SST)turbulence model for computations of ICF with typical clogging shapes shows their influence on temperature and induced Joule heat power distributions,which are to be precise in LES study.
