Abstract :
An analysis of the force density in the secondary of a linear induction motor is proposed. The Hodge-Helmholtz decomposition is applied, from which the force density is the sum of rotational and gradient terms, and the numerical details for the effective computation are done. An interpretation of the decomposition, useful for the case of a pumping application, is provided
