An integro-differential formulation for magnetic induction in bounded domains: Boundary element--finite volume method (Q598163): Difference between revisions

This paper is concerned with the numerical resolution of MHD problems in bounded domains. An integral formulation is used on the boundary where the magnetic field has a global nature, and it is combined with a local discretization inside the domain. It is observed that to couple finite volumes with boundary elements allows a formulation of the global boundary conditions in arbitrary geometries that provides a convenient method for parallel computation. Finally, some examples of magnetic diffusion problems in a sphere as well as in a finite cylinder are presented.
