Abstract
Conventional microwave oven heating has the problem of poor heating uniformity and low heating efficiency. A novel microwave oven heating model has been proposed for improving heating uniformity by making the electric field in the microwave oven drastically change by changing the geometry of the microwave oven during the heating process. The transformation optics method is used to solve the computational difficulties caused by the continuous change of the mesh during the motion. Finally, the experiment verified the correctness of the simulation. In addition, important factors affecting heating efficiency were discussed.
