Analyses of Levitation Force in Induction Heating Furnace using 3D Edge Finite Element Method

Induction heating is a very common procedure for melting metals and alloy especially where all other heating procedures are not applicable or advisable. But, design process of such a complicated induction heating devices usually results with extensive use of computer job, time and cost. Not only magnetic flux density and eddy current density distributions inside the furnace have to be analyzed, but also the distribution and intensity of electromagnetic forces, especially levitation force has to be researched and optimized
