Session
Stray flux tubes around cylindrical poles are commonly modelled starting from the results for planar flux tubes using the circumference of the cylinder as depth. While this is a tried and tested approach, we here discuss analytical expressions using the actual axisymmetric geometry of a fraction of a hollow torus and compare their results to those of the accepted approach.
