Abstract

This paper includes the Neumann boundary conditions in the magnetic charge modeling method for spherical magnetic structures. In the spherical coordinate system, the geometry and the magnetic properties of the imaged magnetic structure are obtained with the method of inversion. This method is applied to a spherical permanent magnet array, and the results are compared with the harmonic modeling and finite-element analysis. In addition to this validation, the modeling methods are compared on their limitations and accuracy.
