Modeling of rotational induction heating of nonmagnetic cylindrical billets

Induction heating of nonmagnetic cylindrical billets by rotation in uniform magnetic field produced by static permanent magnets is modeled. Numerical analysis of the process providing the distributions of magnetic and temperature fields is carried out in the monolithic formulation, using our own code based on higher-order finite element method. The methodology is illustrated by a typical example and the most important results are validated experimentally.
