PREDICTED AND MEASURED FINITE-WIDTH EFFECTS IN LINEAR INDUCTION MACHINES

A new method of calculating the variation of the magnetic flux density with the dimension perpendicular to the flux and motion directions has been developed for MHD induction machines. The force and power densities and totals are also determined. The new method is explained and compared with previous methods of calculating finite-width effects. The agreement of the calculated field profiles with some initial measurements is excellent.
