Flux Determination Using Finite Elements: Global vs. Local Calculation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Original scientific paper Finite difference procedures for flux determination are not well suited for application to field results obtained from finite element calculations. A novel method for flux calculation has been derived. This method is based on the weak formulation and is suitable for use with finite elements. A matrix formulation for local and global application to finite element formulations is presented. An additional benefit of the method is that Neumann boundary conditions can be easily incorporated in the finite element formulation of the nonlinear field problem. A comparison between the finite difference, Pade derivative and novel finite element procedures is demonstrated through oneand two-dimensional examples.

Calculation of Local Iron Loss in Electrical Machines Using Finite Elements Method
Calculations of iron losses in the electrical machines are normally based on experimental characteristics of core material used in the machines. These methods with simplified machine analysis approximations are usually employed for calculation of total iron losses of electrical machines whilst local flux densities and corresponding local iron losses especially when designing of the machine and ...
متن کاملFlux Recovery and A Posteriori Error Estimators: Conforming Elements for Scalar Elliptic Equations
In this paper, we first study two flux recovery procedures for the conforming finite element approximation to general second-order elliptic partial differential equations. One is accurate in a weighted L2 norm studied in [Z. Cai and S. Zhang, SIAM J. Numer. Anal., 47 (2009), pp. 2132– 2156] for linear elements, and the other is accurate in a weighted H(div) norm, up to the accuracy of the curre...
متن کاملA Novel Technique on the Analytical Calculation of Open-Circuit Flux Density Distribution in Brushless Permanent-Magnet Motor
Both the cogging and electromagnetic torques depends on the shape of the flux density distribution in the airgap region. A two-dimensional (2-D) analytical method for predicting the open- circuit airgap field distribution in brushless permanent magnet motors, considering the direction of magnetization, i.e., radial or parallel, and the effect of real shape of stator slot-openings is presented i...
متن کاملUPL determination of multi-element deposits with grade uncertainty using a new block economic value calculation approach
The block economic value (BEV) of a single-metal deposit is calculated based on the metal content and the related costs. The common methods available for calculating BEV are just based upon the profitable elements, and the effects of undesirable elements on BEV are not considered. However, in multi-element deposits, the effects of other elements existing in the blocks on BEV should be considere...
متن کاملDetermination of the Equilibrium Parameters of Gaseous Detonations Using a Genetic Algorithm
The present work is concerned with the development of a new algorithm for determination of the equilibrium composition of gaseous detonations. The elements balance equations, and the second law of thermodynamics (i.e., the minimization of the Gibbs free energy of products), are used to determine the equilibrium composition of the detonation products. To minimize the Gibbs free energy with tradi...
