Module 10
Numerical Modeling and Design Optimization
1
FEM Fundamentals for Coupled Multi-Physics in Magnet Design
Describe the fundamentals of the Finite Element Method (FEM) for solving coupled multi-physics problems in magnet design.
Magnetic Field Simulations in Complex Coil Geometries
Use specialized software (e.g., PMDS) or commercial FEM packages to calculate magnetic field distributions in complex coil geometries.
3
Coupled Electromagnetic-Thermal Simulation of Coil Pulse Heating
Set up a coupled electromagnetic-thermal simulation to calculate the temperature evolution in a coil during a pulse.
4
Lorentz Force and Thermal Stress Simulation
Perform a structural mechanics simulation to calculate stress and strain distributions from Lorentz forces and thermal expansion.
Transient Multi-Physics Simulation: EM, Thermal, and Mechanical Coupling
Apply multi-physics coupling to simultaneously solve electromagnetic, thermal, and mechanical equations in a transient simulation.
6
Designing for Optimal Performance: An Introduction to Optimization Problems
Formulate a design optimization problem with a clear objective function (e.g., maximize field/bore ratio) and constraints (e.g., max stress).
7
Coil Optimization with Gradient and Genetic Algorithms
Apply a gradient-based or genetic algorithm to explore the design space and find an optimal coil geometry.
Validating Simulation Results
Validate simulation results against analytical solutions for simple geometries and available experimental data.
