An optimization method based on the zonal harmonic description of the magnetic field, suitable for the design of axially symmetric magnetic sources, is presented. Expressions of both axial Bz and radial Bρ components of the magnetic field are obtained as the infinite sum of the zonal harmonics. For arrangements having as the basic building block […]
This article discusses the optimum layout of coils of a superconducting magnet system for magnetic density separation (MDS). MDS is a novel separation technology that combines a vertical magnetic field gradient with a ferrofluid to separate mixtures of non-magnetic particles based on their mass density. The MDS process can separate more than two types of […]
This article shows the effectiveness of combining non-intrusive stochastic techniques with 3-D modeling tools to build adequate surrogate models for the evaluation of human exposure close to a vehicle equipped with a wireless charging pad. A surrogate model is appropriate to deal with uncertainties and variabilities of parameters defining the electromagnetic problem. Numerical results obtained […]
