Abstract

Problem 5 of the International Workshops for Eddy Current Code Comparison consists of four aluminium blocks symmetrically located in an alternating magnetic field (the Bath Cube). Five solutions employing five computer codes are described and compared with experimental results. In this, the most three-dimensional of the six problems, with no 2-D approximation to give insight, the results diverge about precisely those features of the field that computer simulations are expected to reveal.
