  2. Motivation and Objectives Central topic: Stirring with alternating magnetic fields • Rotating (RMF) • Traveling (TMF) • Pulsating (PMF) • Design of tailored superposition fields rotating traveling 2nd Sino-German Workshop on EPM, Dresden, Oct. 17-18, 2005 Frana, Stiller, Cramer Simulations on Stirring with Magnetic Fields

  3. Numerical Methods Direct Numerical Simulation Mathematical Model • Field frequency: ω<1/μσR2 • Flow velocity: u<ωR • Resolve all scales • No turbulence model < Maxwell equationsdecouple Methods and Codes • Low-induction / low frequency • approximation: • Navier-Stokes problem foru • Lorentz force: fj×B0 • Current density: jσ(t A0) • Electrical potential: 20 2nd Sino-German Workshop on EPM, Dresden, Oct. 17-18, 2005 Frana, Stiller, Cramer Simulations on Stirring with Magnetic Fields
