Results
An analysis was performed using analytical mathematical models that take into account the discrete distribution of current layers based on Fourier series with complex coefficients, and the effect of compensating for the harmful pulsating magnetic flux effects. A simplified method for analyzing the winding coefficient was proposed, and based on this, alternative types analysis of two-layer windings was performed. Based on this analysis, a patent formula and design options for inductors with improved weight, size, and energy characteristics were proposed.
Using numerical mathematical models that take into account the linear induction machines characteristics and the magnetohydrodynamic processes characteristics, the main parameters of the above-mentioned inductors were determined for subsequent design development and design documentation preparation. New technical solutions have been proposed to increase the equipment reliability and service life. Technical requirements and proposals for the automated positioning implementation for the electromagnetic hydrodynamic complex (EM stirrer) have been developed. Technical requirements and proposals for upgrading the electromagnetic hydrodynamic complex (EM stirrer) complex's control system have been developed, as well as its implementation within the framework of a new modification of the low-frequency current source for the EM inductor. A pilot inductor with compensating elements, a lifting and transport machine, and an upgraded control and monitoring system have been manufactured. External testing has also been conducted.
