Computer simulation for fundamental study and practical solutions to induction heating problems Available to Purchase

This presentation is a continuation of the presentation made at IHS 98. The topics remain the same; however, the content is updated to reflect the improvements in both computer software and hardware and some new studies made by Centre for Induction Technology, Inc. (CIT). Several examples are presented that show the results of computer simulation studies and their verification by means of empirical studies. These examples include 1‐D, 2‐D and 3‐D computer simulation of various induction heating systems. Special attention is paid to 3‐D electromagnetic simulation, including a fundamental study of the end and edge effects for induction heating of slabs and the historical perspective of this case.
