A model for homogenization of solid alloying admixtures in an induction crucible furnace

The paper presents a methodology for identification of homogenization time of alloying inclusions in an induction crucible furnace. The methodology is based on the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) Euler-Lagrange calculation of inclusions and a regression model for size of the inclusions and their density. The presented regression model avoids the repeated LES calculations and, therefore, is suitable for an optimization task. The paper presents a methodology for identification of homogenization time of alloying inclusions in an induction crucible furnace where particles are admixed from a free surface of a melt. The methodology is based on the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) Euler-Lagrange calculation of inclusions and a regression model for size of the inclusions and their density. The regression model avoids the repeated LES calculations and, therefore, is suitable for an optimization task.
