Description

This advanced course deals with the possibilities for temperature analysis with electromagnetic heat sources.

Most of them are electrical conductors that produce eddy currents and therefore heat up. AC alternating current or changing magnetic fields can be the triggers, but other heat sources can also be involved. In addition to the skin and proximity effects, material properties that change when heated must be taken into account. If the cooling by fluid is to be accurately predicted, the coupling of the electromagnetic with thermal and flow solvers is necessary.

Duration

2 days
