Induction Heating Calculation in Consideration of Moving and Forming of Heated Body

Abstract

Three dimensional combined process model of electromagnetic field and heat transfer where electrically heated body is moving and forming mechanically is proposed to obtain the reasonable computer calculation time. The proposed method is that calculates the heat transfer by using 2-D section model with referring the joule heat distribution in 3-D electromagnetic field calculation in order to express the moving and forming of the heated body. As a result, we could obtain the calculation result that considered these phenomena in substantially short time in comparison with conventional method.
