Cylindrical single or multi-turns coils and Spiral Flat multi turn coils are used in pulsed magnetic technologies for which both magneto-harmonic and transient magnetic analysis are required. The first are mainly used for tubular geometries and the second are preferred for sufficiently thin discoid geometries like washers, plates and discs. Flat coils can be associated to a thicker intermediate plate used as a launcher that will push the part to deform against a matrix. Cylindrical single-turn coils have already been studied in [1]. Now, we suggest studying one flat multi-turns coil example made of height turns, an optional conducting launcher and an upper thin discoid plate supposed to be deformed. The aim of this study is to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of an approximate 2D axi-symetrical numerical model by comparing with references like measurements, 3D calculations or theory in order then to build an approximate but fast and reliable numerical or/and analytical solution that might ease the coupling with electrical, mechanical and thermal physics. In this work we propose to: - First introduce the 3D model and the approximate 2D axi-symetrical model in COMSOL Multiphysics®: definition of the symmetries, sources, the materials, the limit conditions and the mesh - Secondly, introduce and perform magneto-harmonic computations: o Give the governing physical equations and formulation o Draw the potential, flux, current and Lorentz force density profiles o Extract some needed information on the coil, such as the equivalent resistance, inductance and coefficient of force that acts onto the washer, the plate or the disc. - Thirdly, introduce and perform transient magnetic computations o Give the governing physical equations and formulation o Draw the potential, flux, current and Lorentz force density profiles, o Analysis of the relationship between the current pulse, the voltage pulse and the Lorentz forces as a function of time. - Finally, introduce and perform the transient coupling with an electrical circuit o Introduce the electrical circuit and the coupling principles o Compare the current and voltage pulses with measurements for several conditions References [1] O.
