Title
Numerical analysis of electric field formulations of the eddy current model
Abstract
This paper deals with finite element methods for the numerical solution of the eddy current problem in a bounded conducting domain crossed by an electric current, subjected to boundary conditions involving only data easily available in applications. Two different cases are considered depending on the boundary data: input current intensities or differences of potential. Weak formulations in terms of the electric field are given in both cases. In the first one, the input current intensities are imposed by means of integrals on curves lying on the boundary of the domain and joining current entrances and exit. In the second one, the electric potentials are imposed by means of Lagrange multipliers, which are proved to represent the input current intensities. Optimal error estimates are proved in both cases and implementation issues are discussed. Finally, numerical tests confirming the theoretical results are reported.
