Abstract

In this paper, a multi-physics torque simulation of the nonmagnetic rotor submerged in ferrofluid is proposed. It is noted that there is no exerted magnetic force on the nonmagnetic materials. After calculation of magnetic force densities in ferrofluid, the pressures acting on the surface of rotor can be acquired from hydrostatics. Then torque is calculated from the surface pressures of rotor. A simple two pole reluctance model is adopted for the simulation and verification.
