Modeling of the Electromagnetic Characteristics of the Inductor of an Electric Vortex Apparatus in the Comsol Multiphysics Environment

Abstract

Electric vortex devices are a promising solution for intensifying a large number of technological influ-ences. However, depending on the area of application, the efficiency of use depends on a large number of fac-tors which are often difficult to optimize without a simulation model. The article discusses the possibility of modeling of the electromagnetic characteristics of the inductor of a vortex electric apparatus in the Comsol Multiphysics environment. The aim of the study was to evaluate the distribution of magnetic flux in the inductor of a vortex electric apparatus depending on the type of geometry and the level of occupancy of the technologi-cal zone. The object of study is the inductor of a vortex electric apparatus with an unmatched moving part, the subject is the distribution of magnetic flux depending on the type of geometry of working bodies and the level of their occupancy of the technological zone. The simulation of the distribution of the magnetic flux in the in-ductor, depending on the type of the used geometry of the working bodies, as well as the level of their filling of the technological zone was carried out. It was found that the most promising from the energy point of view is the use of spherical working bodies which is explained by the most preferable mass inertial characteristics rela-tive to rod working bodies with displaced centers of mass. The obtained results can represent the initial data for the development of elements of digitalization of the energy characteristics of vortex electrical devices dur-ing their operation in various industries, as well as when creating their simulation models.
