G. Vinsard et al., AN ANALYSIS OF THE ROTATIONAL FORCES IN THE SECONDARY OF AN ELECTROMAGNETIC PUMP, IEEE transactions on magnetics, 34(5), 1998, pp. 3552-3555
An analysis of the farce density in the secondary of a linear inductio
n motor is proposed. The Hodge-Helmholtz; decomposition is applied, fr
om which the force density is the sum of rotational and gradient terms
, and the numerical details for the effective computation are done. An
interpretation of the decomposition, useful for the case of a pumping
application, is provided.
