Numerical analysis of electric field formulations of the eddy current model (Q2581003)

In this paper it is analyzed the eddy current problem with input current intensities as boundary data. The authors introduce and analyze a weak formulation in terms of the electric field and they propose a finite element method for its numerical solution. Next, the authors analyze the eddy current problem with electric potentials as boundary data. It is developed the weak formulation in terms of the electric field and it is analyzed a mixed finite element method for its numerical solution. In the last part of the paper there are justified the convergence properties, by comparing the numerical results obtained with a known analytical solution.
