Nonlinear simulation of electromagnetic fields with domain decomposition methods on MIMD parallel computers (Q1917877)

The paper deals with numerical solutions of nonlinear electromagnetic field problems. The domain decomposition method is used with multiple instruction multiple data parallel computers. Finite element and boundary element methods are combined in a unified variational problem. The particular problem of magnetic field computations for electric machines is solved, with the boundary element method for the infinite exterior subdomain being more effective than the finite element method, which is preferred for the interior subdomain due to the complicated field structure occurring there.
