Abstract
The paper presents an attempt of modelling liquid steel motion triggered off by electromagnetic stirring. Steel viscosity was calculated on the basis of temperature field determined with the use of stationary heat conduction equation. Velocity field was determined using Navier-Stokes equations and stream continuity equation. Solution was obtained using the finite element method. The developed model allows to carry out quick simulating calculations of fluid flow. Stationary solution was employed, and this allowed to reduce computation time substantially.
