Abstract :
This research presents a topology optimization to manipulate the main heat flow in a magneto-thermal system. The heat generated by eddy current is considered in the design domain assuming an adiabatic boundary. A topology design sensitivity is derived by employing the discrete system equations combined with the adjoint variable method. As a numerical example, an iron domain heated by eddy currents is dealt with the proposed method
