The mathematical model of coupled electromagnetic, hydrodynamic and thermal processes at induction heating of output channel of glass melting furnace is developed and realized. The three-dimensional model and computer technique give a possibility to find the optimal conditions for molten glass heating by right location of inductor, its parameters in order to provide the temperature homogeneity of the glass melt and its high quality. References 17, figures 7, table 1.
Key words: electromagnetic, thermal and hydrodynamic processes, multiphysics problems, induction heating, molten glass, output channel of glass melting furnace, computer modeling.
