In this paper an axisymmetric model of annular linear electromagnetic induction pumps using numerical methods and four approaches (two transient and two quasi-stationary) with different complexity is studied. Comparison of integral characteristics is performed between numerical approaches and also with analytic estimations. Distributions of physical parameters over length and height of channel are analyzed and strong influence of higher spatial harmonics is observed. In transient approaches double supply frequency pressure pulsations amplitude is estimated. In the end preferable applications of each method are summarized.
