Abstract
Electromagnetic levitation is a kind of magnetohydrodynamic phenomena which is useful to measure the thermo-physical properties of pure metals under high temperature. However, this phenomenon is complicated and detailed mechanisms of this phenomenon have not been clarified yet. This study proposes the meshless method based on weighted least square method for the analysis of electromagnetic levitation. In this study, the fluid motion equation and the magnetic field equation are coupled by this method. The behavior of a molten metal under high-frequency magnetic field is calculated by this method.
