Abstract: Recent work in the field of drag reduction research has led to the realization that running transverse waves along the outer surfaces of aircraft and other motorized vehicles can lead to a reduction in the drag experienced by these vessels. To further investigate this phenomenon, actuators are needed that will create traveling transverse waves that behave according to the requirements for wind tunnel testing of small-scale models. This Masters Thesis presents an investigation into the magnetic behavior of such an actuator, with a focus on modeling various magnetic configurations in order to optimize the Lorentz force experienced by coils in a stationary system. Using finite element analysis based simulation software, physical phenomena such as hysteresis are studied to determine the preferred magnet, coil, and metal configuration that will result in optimum actuator performance.
