Abstract
This paper presents a three-dimensional simulation of movement of meta l in a levitation-melting apparatus. Since the metal is levitated in a ir and melted by induction heating, the levitating metal not only move s complexly in the vertical and horizontal direction, but also rotates round a horizontal axis. To improve the apparatus from a point of vie w of uniform heating and stability levitation, we have carried out the metal's moving simulation by combining the boundary element analysis and its motion equation.
