CFD analysis of the convection flow in the pan during induction heating and gas range heating

► The convection in the pan during IH and GRH was analyzed by using CFD. ► In GRH the heat flux measured at the wall of the pan was used as B.C. ► In IH the heat generation obtained by electromagnetic field analysis was used as B.C. ► The simulated convection in the pan showed the same tendency as the experiment. ► CFD could calculate the convection in the pan during IH and GRH.
