Integration of Energetic Model for Ferromagnetic Hysteresis in Finite Volume Method for Electromagnetic Field Calculation

In this article, a coupled algorithm between the control volume method and the hysteresis dynamic energetic model for ferromagnetic hysteresis is presented. To illustrate the dynamic behavior of ferromagnetic materials, the quasi-static model is extended by adding two components to the applied magnetic field “Hedd”, and “Hexc”. The added fields are related to the excess losses and classical eddy losses. Thus, two new supplementary coefficients are added to the model parameters. The determination of those coefficients is attained by measuring the energy density for two distinct frequencies. This model introducing the magnetic induction as an independent variable is presented in order to be directly used in time-stepping finite volume calculations applied to the magnetic vector potential formulation. The calculated results are validated by experiences performed in an Epstein’s frame. To check the effectiveness of this model combined with the control volume method in the time domain, the obtained results are compared with experiments.
