Numerical Modeling of Melt Meniscus Shape in the Induction Crucible Furnace by Using Open-Source Software

The article describes the definition of dependencies connecting the parameters of an induction crucible furnace and the shape of the meniscus using a mathematical model. The analysis of the data obtained and a qualitative assessment of the mathematical model based on the open non-commercial software Elmer and OpenFOAM are carried out. The created models were debugged for use in further studies of the free surface of the melt.
