CFD Analysis of an Electric Motor's Cooling System: Model Validation and Solutions for Optimization

This article demonstrates how to create a reliable Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) model of a 250 kW Internal Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (IPMSM), used in a dynamometer bench for testing electric motors, to address its overheating problems. The purpose is to investigate the rotor's hig...
