Abstrakt: The results of numerical studies of an induction-melting furnace with a cone-shaped cold crucible for vitrification of high-level wastes with noble metals are presented. The study has been carried out using a 2D electrohydrodynamic two-frequency model taking into account the movement of noble-metal particles in a borosilicate-glass melt. Based on the mathematical modeling, a furnace with an induction-drain unit that ensures complete removal of noble metals together with the drained glass melt has been developed. The directions for further numerical and experimental studies are presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
