In numerous metallurgical processes, electromagnetic effects are exploited to drive or to control the flow of a metallic melt. Examples include the rotational stirring and the electromagnetic filtration (purification) of liquid metals and alloys before the casting stage. These processes are governed by the Navier-Stokes equations, Ohm's law, and Maxwell's equations. We describe a general framework for the mathematical analysis and finite-element simulation of such processes.
