Purpose – The purpose of the paper is to give a review of TEAM Problem 21, focus on its extended progress in engineering-oriented developments, and report the new benchmarking activity undertaken by the authors.
Design/methodology/approach – Testing electromagnetic analysis methods; verify computation models; detail the field behavior of typical magnetic structure; benefit to large-scale numerical modeling.
Findings – The calculated results of power loss and magnetic flux for all the member models agree well with the measured ones. The updated Problem 21 Family can now be used to model the saturation effect in the magnetic plate or the lamination by increasing the exciting currents. The new member model P21d-M allows further detailed examination of the electromagnetic behavior inside laminated sheets. The variation of both the iron loss and the magnetic flux with the excitation patterns and magnetic property data can be investigated inside the laminated sheets and the magnetic plate.
Originality/value – In order to model the possible saturation level of magnetic steel using Ar-V-Ar or T-Ω solvers, the exciting currents are increased from 10 to 50 A. In order to model the iron loss and magnetic flux densities inside the laminated sheets, a very simplified model, P21d-M of Problem 21 Family as shown in Figure 2, has been proposed.
