The aim of this work is a comparative efficiency evaluation of various systems for magneto-hydrodynamic melt mixing in the application to industrial installation of directional crystallization type GT-DSS-450 with a form factor of crucible G5. In this work, using numerical simulations in the COMSOL Multiphysics® software, the efficiency of various types of inductor system geometries was analyzed for the application of magneto-hydro-dynamic mixing of a silicon melt for the conditions of industrial plants for growing multicrystalline silicon ingots. The main quantitative parameters of various configurations of inductor systems are presented, their advantages and disadvantages are compared. The results obtained can be used to create systems for magneto-hydrodynamic mixing of silicon melt and electrically conductive melts of substances.
Key words: multicrystalline silicon, magnetohydrodynamic mixing, traveling magnetic field, inductor, melt, mathematical modeling.
