We present an innovative method to allow real-time visualisation of temperature fields on power electronic circuits using augmented reality. A real-time time-domain simulation incorporating the Block Arnoldi model order reduction techniques is implemented in the Unity game engine. Traditional methods run too slowly whereas the developed system allows an example model with 9232 thermal nodes to be dynamically simulated in real-time at a speed fast enough to allow for a smooth augmented reality visualisation. The aim is to show the feasibility of the technology and that it could be applied to visualising electromagnetic fields in future work.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
