The specific embodiment
As accompanying drawing 2 are continuous casting mold of round billets stirring parameter formulating method implementing procedure figure of the present invention.Concrete steps are as follows.
1. crystallizer electromagnetic agitation electromagnetic field distributes.
Electromagnetic field phenomenon in the simulation crystallizer electromagnetic agitation process must be set up and describe this process mathematical model.In crystallizer electromagnetic agitation process, therefore the complexity of electromagnetic field and flow field coupled problem when setting up Mathematical Modeling, is easy to handle and don't lose its meaning in order to make problem, does following hypothesis:
1. the used alternating magnetic field frequency of electromagnetic agitation generally arrives 10Hz 1, belongs to the magnetic quasi-static field, so ignore displacement current.
2. in the electromagnetic agitation process, magnetic is very little, and document is estimated to be approximately 0.01, so ignore the influence of molten steel motion to electromagnetic field, in calculating electromagnetic problems, strand is considered as static.
The basic law that external electromagnetic field distributes is described by the Maxwell equation group, and the Maxwell differential equation group is as follows:
In the formula: E is the electric-field intensity in the medium; B is the magnetic induction intensity in the medium; H is the magnetic field intensity in the medium; J is the conduction current density in the medium; D is the dielectric displacement in the medium; ρ
eBe the electric charge volume density in the medium.
For being characterized in the macroscopic properties of medium under the electromagnetic field effect, outside last equation, also need replenish the constitutive equation of describing the material electromagnetic property:
D=εE (5)
B=μH (6)
j=σE (7)
In the formula: ε is the dielectric constant of medium; μ is the medium magnetic conductivity; σ is the medium electrical conductivity.
By the Maxwell equation group as can be seen, the electromagnetism variable is interweaved together, has increased the difficulty to problem solving like this.For the simplification problem, usually, electric field variable and magnetic field variable are separated, thereby formed the independently partial differential equation in electric field or magnetic field, so that numerical computations by means of the method for a scalar electromotive force of definition and a vector magnetic potential.
Separating normally of electromagnetic problems tried to achieve by introducing various bit functions, adopts the magnetic vector potential method here, introduces vector magnetic potential A and scalar electromotive force
They are defined as follows:
It should be noted that like that, only limit a curl of vector and can not determine this vector (being vector magnetic potential A here) uniquely,, also should its divergence be limited in order to guarantee the uniqueness of vector magnetic potential suc as formula (8).From the angle of mathematics, this restriction can be selected arbitrarily; From angle of practical application, then should choose suitable qualifications, thereby simplify the differential equation.Usually select Lorentz (Lorentz) condition for use, with vector magnetic potential A and scalar electromotive force
Connect, the Lorentz qualifications can be expressed as:
More than Ding Yi vector magnetic potential and scalar energy of position satisfy Faraday's electromagnetic induction law and Gauss's magnetic flux law automatically, and then are applied in the Ampere circuit law and the Gauss law of flux, through deriving magnetic field partial differential equation and electric field partial differential equation.
Formula (11) has identical form with formula (12) obviously, is symmetrical fully, this means that the method for finding the solution them is identical.So far, we can carry out numerical solution to formula (11) and formula (12), as adopting FInite Element, solve the field distribution of magnetic potential and electromotive force, and then through transforming, can obtain the various physical quantitys of electromagnetic field, as magnetic induction intensity, energy storage etc.
