An integrated 2D/3D numerical methodology to predict the thermal field of electric motors

The present work aims at providing a predictive numerical methodology for the thermal characterization of electric motors. The methodology relies on a 2D-FE simulation for the estimation of the electromagnetic (iron and joule) losses. The latter are then exploited in a 3D-CFD Conjugate Heat Transfer...
