According to recent research from Nancy, France, "The deformation of the free surface of the liquid pool in the VAR process may play a key role in explaining the apparition of surface defects on the ingot skin. In the present study, the deformation of the surface induced by electromagnetic stirring is investigated, for a simplified geometry, using CFD-based simulations, combining models for the turbulent fluid flow, heat transfer, free surface movements and electromagnetic forces." "Particular attention is given to the implementation of thermal and electrical boundary conditions at the moving free surface. Verification of the developed model is carried out by comparison...
