Description
Summary:Analysis of Halbach array placed in open space by using finite element method involves substantial consumption of memory, time, and cost. To address this problem, development of a mathematical modeling and analytic analysis method for Halbach array can be a solution, but research on this topic is currently insufficient. Therefore, a novel mathematical modeling and analytic analysis method for Halbach array in open space is proposed in this study, which is termed as the Ampere model and the Biot−Savart law (AB method). The proposed AB method can analyze the Halbach array rapidly and accurately with minimal consumption of memory. The usefulness of the AB method in terms of accuracy and memory and time consumption is verified by comparing the AB method with finite element method in this paper.
