Numerical investigations of air flow and heat transfer in axial flux permanent magnet electrical machines

In this study an investigation of heat transfer in air cooled Axial Flux Permanent Magnet (AFPM) electrical machines is carried out. Efficiency of electrical machines is strongly influenced by an effective cooling which is provided by forced convection: air enters the generator through the opening i...
