Some applications of the adjoint variable method in electromagnetic optimization and inverse problems Ghent University
In this paper we present two applications of the adjoint variable method (AVM). First we consider a design optimization problem in magnetic shielding. The objective is to reduce the magnetic stray field of an axisymmetric induction heating device for the heat treatment of aluminum discs. We involve two types of shielding, the passive and the active shielding. In the former, one needs to optimize the geometry of the passive shield. In the latter, ...
