Abstract :
The numerical and experimental studies on induction heating of continuously moving strips in a transverse field are presented in this paper. The induced eddy current and its coupled thermal field in moving media is computed with FEM. The adopted mathematical model consists of a Fourier thermal conduction equation and a set of differential equations, which describes the steady-state eddy current problem in a configuration comprising a magnetic vector potential and an electrical scalar potential. The calculated results are in good agreement with the measurement
