Non steady applied magnetic field impact on a liquid metal has good prospects for industry. For a better understanding of heat and mass transfer processes under these circumstances, numerical simulations are needed. A combination of finite elements and volumes methods was used to calculate the flow and solidification of liquid metal under electromagnetic influence. Validation of numerical results was carried out by means of measuring with ultrasound Doppler velocimetry technique, as well as with neutron radiography snapshots of the position and shape of the solid/liquid interface. As a result of the first part of the work, a numerical model of electromagnetic stirring and solidification was developed and validated. This model could be an effective tool for analyzing the electromagnetic stirring during the solidification process. In the second part, the dependences of the velocity pulsation amplitude and the melt velocity maximum value on the magnetic field pulsation frequency are obtained. The ability of the pulsating force to develop higher values of the liquid metal velocity at a frequency close to the MHD resonance was found numerically. The obtained characteristics give a more detailed description of the electrically conductive liquid behaviour under action of pulsating traveling magnetic field.

A coupled system of a magnet and magnetic fluid is used as a piston in a U-tube. Applying reciprocating travelling magnetic field produces reciprocating motion of the coupled system. In this study, vibration properties of the coupled system are investigated experimentally. Three types of vibration mode of the coupled system appear and the mode depends on the frequency and intensity of travelling magnetic field and the shape of the magnet. Basically the coupled system follows the travelling magnetic field in the range of low frequency, while the system cannot follow the travelling field when the frequency of the travelling magnetic field is high. However, when the magnet is sphere or short cylinder, the other type of vibration appears in the range of low frequency and the coupled system intermittently tracks the travelling magnetic field.

The paper considers the flow field during spin-up from rest of liquid metal in a cylindrical stationary cavity due to a rotating transverse uniform low-frequency magnetic field. It is assumed that the Ekman and the magnetic Reynolds numbers are small. An approximate model, based on matching of Bödewadt-type layers with an inviscid core, with possible influence from the sidewall, for laminar flow is developed. It is shown that the angular velocity in the core is a function of time only. Analytical solutions for the angular velocity and the meridional flow in the core are presented, and supplemented by finite-difference results to show the sidewall effects. The spin-down following the switch-off of the magnetic forcing, the influence of the axial variations of the magnetic field, and the relevance to turbulent flows are discussed.

Relevance of the work. The use of laying the workings is intended to increase the safety of mining operations, namely, controlling mining pressure, reduce mineral loss during excavation, prevent the occurrence of underground fires, and reduce the risks of destruction of objects in residential areas. Methodology of the work. The article is devoted to the study of the possibility of applying the system of peristaltic transportation of pasty slurries using the energy of a traveling magnetic field to work on the laying of the goaf. Taking into account the features of the materials used as the basis for filling mixtures, the specifics of the process of moving the latter to the place of laying, innovative technologies for transporting filling mixtures are becoming increasingly important. Results and scope. A fundamentally new approach to the transportation of liquid and viscous media is the use of low-frequency magnetic peristaltic pumps. The design of this pump involves the use as an executive body of the working channel, made of a magneto-active elastomer. By its extension under the influence of a traveling magnetic, periodic waves of local deformation pass, moving the filling mixture. Conclusions. The rejection of the traditional roller system, which presses the channel, and the replacement of the main executive body of the pump with the working channel, the structuring flow and preventing its separation, will expand the scope of application of pumping equipment during filling operations. The pressure developed by the pump depends on the energy characteristics of the traveling magnetic field. Studies have shown that the speed of movement of a wave of local deformation when moving various materials is sufficiently stable and slightly depends on the viscosity of a substance.
