Abstract :
The paper presents a thermal analysis of an axial flux synchronous permanent-magnet machine (AFSPM) with a core of soft magnetic composite (SMC) material. We obtained the temperature distribution by using a coupled thermal and fluid dynamic finite-element model. The study considers two 2-D approaches and compares their results to experimental tests.
