In order to obtain a uniform thermal distribution of a melt in e.g. aluminum furnaces, mixing can be provided by rotating permanent magnets. A rotating permanent magnet generates a rotating magnetic field, which induces volume force in the nearby liquid metal. This method has already been studied in terms of velocity distribution. However, we present experimental and numerical results of the temperature equalization when the liquid metal is heated from the top. Temperature is recorded with thermocouples and a thermal camera. Our setup consists of a cylindrical permanent magnet, which is located at the side of a Ga-In-Sn container. Experimental parametric sweep is performed by changing the angle of inclination of the magnet in order to find the most efficient position in which the thermal balance can be achieved the quickest.
