P. Fiorentin et al., COMPARISON AND EXPERIMENTAL VALIDATION OF DIFFERENT METHODS FOR EDDY-CURRENT CALCULATION IN THE RFX CONDUCTING SHELL, Fusion technology, 26(3), 1994, pp. 577-581
An analytical and a Finite Element (EE) model for eddy current computa
tion on the RFX conductive shell are compared by means of a harmonic a
nalysis. The influence of the basic assumptions of the analytical mode
l is investigated and the criteria for the choice of the FE mesh are p
resented. The application limits of the models are discussed and their
accuracy is assessed by means of experimental measurements on the act
ual RFX shell.
