Coupling electromagnectic and thermo-hydrodynamic simulations to optimize a vitrification furnace heated by direct induction
International audienceThis study deals with the optimization of a cold crucible melter where electric currents are directly induced in a glass charge. A design of experiments is used to determine the factors of the crucible design which have an impact on the efficiency. Numerical tools are used to lead the experiments: a finite volume software, used to solve hydrodynamics and thermal equations, is coupled to a finite element software which computes the Maxwell equations
