Air-Cooling of a Hollow High-Speed Permanent Magnet Rotor (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Connor, P. H., La Rocca, A., Xu, Z., Degano, M., Eastwick, C. N., Pickering, S. J., & Gerada, C. (2019, May). Air-Cooling of a Hollow High-Speed Permanent Magnet Rotor. Presented at 2019 IEEE International Electric Machines and Drives Conference, IEMDC 2019, San Diego, USA

This paper presents a computational fluid dynamics conjugate heat transfer analysis of internal and external cooling paths for a hollow high-speed permanent magnet rotor. Extracting magnet losses from high-speed permanent magnet rotors is challenging... Read More about Air-Cooling of a Hollow High-Speed Permanent Magnet Rotor.

Numerical investigations of convective phenomena of oil impingement on end-windings (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Connor, P. H., La Rocca, A., Xu, Z., Eastwick, C. N., Pickering, S. J., & Gerada, C. (2018, April). Numerical investigations of convective phenomena of oil impingement on end-windings. Presented at 9th International Conference on Power Electronics, Machines and Drives (PEMD 2018), Liverpool

A novel experimental rig for analysing intensive liquid cooling of highly power-dense electrical machine components has been developed. Coupled fluid flow and heat transfer have been modelled, using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), to inform the d...
