3-D Semi-Analytical Model of a Superconducting Axial Flux Modulation Machine

This article presents a 3-D semi-analytical model of partially superconducting axial flux modulation machine for the computation density distribution, torque, and eddy-current losses in armature. The coil magnetic field by bulks is calculated solving Maxwell’s equations scalar potential with variable separation method. Using Fourier series analysis convolution theorem, bulk region modeled domain spatially permeability. permeability enables considering diamagnetic as well more complex behavior using Bean model. results proposed are compared finite-element models good agreement obtained significantly reduced time. appears to be suitable tool optimization sizing processes.
