Calculating Current Density Distribution in Proximity Wires

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the challenge of calculating current density distribution in two closely positioned wires carrying alternating currents, particularly considering the influence of eddy currents. The user seeks guidance on the appropriate formulation for this problem, questioning the applicability of Maxwell's equations and the necessary boundary conditions. They acknowledge the need for a numerical approach but are unsure how to correctly define the problem. The conversation emphasizes the importance of accurately visualizing current density distribution for their specific scenario. Overall, expert advice on problem formulation and numerical methods is requested.

Hello.

I'm floundering.

What is the right way to formulate a problem of calculating the current density distribution across the wire's cross-setion, taking into account eddy currents? If the Maxwell's equations are not the way to go, what is? What should be the boundary conditions or any other restrictions placed on the solution?

Thank you in advance.

Thanks big time. That's not altogether what I meant though. I know quite a few things about skin effect, but I have a rather specific problem in mind.

I have two wires in close proximity carrying currents at the same frequency. I need to visualise the current density distribution in each of them. It is quite obvious that I have to do it numerically but I cannot really put my finger on how to pose the problem correctly.

I would really appreciate your help, it is important.

Thank you.
 
Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'
So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
