Abstract:The theoretical defects of the widely adopted separation calculation method and weakly coupled calculation methods for the thermal-electrical field in aluminium reduction cells were pointed out, and a strongly coupled model of thermal-electrical field was presented. The thermal-electrical field of a 420 kA aluminium reduction cell was computed by using the strongly coupled model and the conventional weakly coupled model, respectively, and the results of this comparative computation prove that adopting the strongly coupled model is necessary. The results show that not setting the temperature of the melt is the key to realize the strong coupling of the electrical field and thermal field, and that introducing the each heat source, which are exactly described, into the calculation model is requirement for obtaining the reliable distribution of the thermal-electrical field.
Key words: aluminium reduction cell; thermal-electrical field; strong coupling; heat source distribution
