Abstract: Flow is a very common phenomenon in nature and engineering fields, and measurement and control of flow have always been essential goals. Liquid metal flow is indispensable in the metallurgical industry, and its flow behavior and transport process involve multiple processing links, including use of blast furnaces, ladles and molds, all of which significantly impact both production efficiency and product quality. In material processes such as continuous casting, continuous hot galvanisation, and secondary aluminium production, the speed,direction and changing law of molten metal flow is of great important for adjusting process parameters and controlling product quality. However, in the face of opaqueness, high temperature, and chemically aggressive molten metal fluids, accurately measuring the flow velocity yield poses a challenge for researchers and engineers. In the past 20 years, with the advancement of electromagnetic technology, great progress has been achieved in velocity measurement techniques for molten metal, and real-time online noncontact measurement of multiphase three-dimensional turbulence has gradually been realised. The application of velocity measurement technology has gradually been extended to fields such as crystal growth, electrochemistry, the nuclear industry and medicine. There are the wide variety of molten metal velocity measurement methods, and each method has its own advantages and disadvantages. In this paper, we introduce the principles, application scenarios and research progress of several molten metal velocity measurement methods commonly used in industry, analyse the differences among different methods and their respective advantages and disadvantages, and discuss prospects for their future development.
