A numerical method to describe the thermo‐electric behavior of an induction heating furnace is introduced. It is obtained by using an enthalpy formulation concerning the thermal model and an integral representation of the electromagnetic potential in an unbounded domain. A BEM‐FEM method is used and an iterative algorithm together with numerical results for an industrial heating system are presented. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
