review text: Summary: Modelling the complex phenomena in channel induction furnaces is quite challenging. These phenomena include electromagnetics, Joule heating, turbulence and heat transfer. The paper describes the methodology and some results of modelling electromagnetically excited turbulent flow of molten metal in a channel induction furnace. The modelling covers both the inductor and the main pot holding the melt. The modelling is carried out for an arbitrary furnace geometry operating under steady state. The objective of the study is to assess the applicability of some of the existing turbulent models to this type of problems and examine the resulting temperature profile of the system.
