Abstract:
There are several limitations when designing solenoid systems. With proper search space selection possible designs can be narrowed down lightest, fastest and most power efficient depending on the application. A method was developed starting from computing required coil design to overcome sealing forces, minimizing structural thicknesses to reduce weight and looking into the effect of manufacturing tolerances and clearances as a perturbation matrix. This was achieved by a multi-physics simulation where the magnetic circuit is modeled using magnetic reluctances of parts and clearances. The fluid flow was computed assuming ideal gas, 1D flow and adiabatic process.
