TL;DR
I try to calculate brake force for primitive eddy current brake, but I have problem with determining the frequency (skin depth) and characteristic length (magnetic Reynolds number)
Hello everyone, I try to calculate brake force for primitive eddy current brake, but I have problem with determining the frequency (skin depth) and characteristic length (magnetic Reynolds number). I attach the equations and a scheme of the model.
