  • Abstract
    An alternative computational approach to the calculation of the electromagnetic force fields in induction furnaces is described. This technique, which may replace the currently employed mutual-inductance or finite-difference/element methods, represents a combination of these two and may offer significant savings in CPU time requirements.
