Abstract
Demagnetization factor and corresponding apparent permeability for multiwire arrays using the 3-D finite element method (FEM) are calculated in this article. The effect of distance between magnetic wires on the demagnetization factor and apparent magnetic permeability is studied for various values of relative magnetic permeability. The simulations are compared with experimental results on arrays up to 91 wires. A novel simplified equivalent 2-D model for wire arrays is presented in this article, as a fast method for calculations. The simplified axisymmetrical model consists of a set of hollow cylinders with equivalent volume. The results of the proposed simplified 2-D model fit very well the full 3-D FEM simulations and experimental results. Two different hexagonal and square arrangements for wires are considered both for the simulations and the measurements.
