Electromagnetic and thermal transients during induction heating of cylindrical workpieces
Résumé
Accuracy of computer simulations of coupled electromagnetic and thermal multiphysics processes during induction heating of metals depends strongly on the correct account of
peculiarities of electromagnetic and thermal transients in heated workpieces. The paper is devoted
to numerical modelling of such phenomena in axisymmetrical formulation. Illustrative numerical
results obtained during the benchmark problem solution regarding induction heating of aluminum
tube taking into account convective and radiant heat transfer from the workpiece’s surface are
presented and analyzed.
