The central theme of Dr Flack’s research interests is the development of finite element methods for the analysis of problems in electromagnetics. Current projects within this theme are: Development of a generalised time-stepping eddy current solver for the analysis of the brushless doubly-fed generator for wind power applications. Modelling of electrical machines and electrical power systems integrated starter motor/alternators for mild hybrid electric vehicles. Development of an integrated modelling environment for electromagnetic gearboxes and electromagnetically-geared electrical machines. Development of finite-element code for micromagnetic simulations for application in magnetic computing. Integrated modeller for the simulation of combined circuit and electromagnetic problems for the development of high-efficiency power switched-mode power supplies
