Validation of Meshless Method Based on Weighted Least Square Method for Simulating Electromagnetic Levitation

Electromagnetic levitation is a kind of magnetohydrodynamic phenomena, which is used for measuring the thermophysical properties of pure metals under high temperature. However, this phenomenon is complicated, and detailed mechanisms have not been clarified yet. This paper proposes the meshless method based on weighted least square method for the analysis of electromagnetic levitation. In this method, the fluid motion equation and the magnetic field equation are weakly coupled. The effectiveness of this method is verified through the analysis of the molten metal behavior.
