Problem Type
Plane-parallel problem of DC magnetics.
The permanent magnets are made of ALNICO, coercive force is 147218 A/m. The polarizations of the magnets are along vertical axis opposite to each other.
Find maximum flux density in Y-direction.
To avoid the influence of the boundaries while modelling the unbounded problem, we'll enclose the magnet in a rectangular region of air and specify zero Dirichlet boundary condition on its sides.
