4th Japan-France Cooperative Program Seminar • Nara - Japon - 4/7 Oct 2004 Electromagnetic levitation under pulsated magnetic field • J. ETAY and B. BARDET • EPM-Madylam ENSHMG BP95 38402 S t Martin d'Hères Cedex (FRANCE)
Levitation Global balance e.m. levitation Local balance e.m. shaping
global oscillations local oscillations to be eliminated to be promoted • Levitation : main instabilities Cummins D.L. and Blackburn, D.A., 1991, Journal of Fluid Mechanics, vol 224
350 kHz 0,1 à 10 Hz 250 kHz heating-exciting levitation - centering • Why ? Sketch of the TEMPUS-MSL performe measurements of thermophysical properties of liquid metal alloys, in space
Surface tension Viscosity • How ? no gravity Lamb, H, 1975, Hydrodynamics, Cambridge University Press
Measuring equipment I With our power suppy • Levitation under pulsated magnetic field a good tool to more accurate measurement easy to use +no-contact + double checking
Set-up • Experimental facility Nickel physical properties Characteristics of the experiment
achieved levitation achieved melting no thermal equilibrium Experimental Results
f2=0 Hz f2=8 Hz f2=7.5 Hz f2=8.5 Hz Spectra of Io(t)
∆f1 is a relevant for the global stability of the load • Comparison ∆f1 and peak values
Conclusions • Stable electromagnetic levitation achieved • Original system of measurement tested • Detection of the state of global stability of the load achieved • Can be use on all induction system powered by triode power supply • To be validate : remote control of f2 = automatic excitation of the first resonance.
