Abstract :
An accurate evaluation of the magnetic field of the iron-core reactor coils by the finite-volume method (FVM) is presented. The linear and quadratic interpolation scheme of FVM is developed. The numerical results are compared with those obtained by the finite-element method. Good agreement is obtained. The main advantage of the approach proposed is that the formation of coefficient matrix is very straightforward without needing the complicated mathematical derivation.
