Joule Heating of a Copper Coils

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello,

I am trying to see the heating of a coil of copper wire if a current of 1.2 [A] is put through it. I feel like this should be easily possible with COMSOL.

I am using the Joule Heating module and have defined a current density in (what I am simulating right now) a tube of copper, but I am not getting nonsensical results.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated and I have attached the file.

Very Respectfully,

Will

Dear William,

please take a look at the model "inductive heating":
www.comsol.com/model/inductive-heating-of-copper-cylinder-148

This shows how to work with a model like this.

Best regards,
Frank
