Analysis of a FEM–BEM model posed on the conducting domain for the time-dependent eddy current problem

摘要

The three-dimensional eddy current time-dependent problem is considered. We formulate it in terms of two variables, one lying only on the conducting domain and the other on its boundary. We combine finite elements (FEM) and boundary elements (BEM) to obtain a FEM–BEM coupled variational formulation. We establish the existence and uniqueness of the solution in the continuous and the fully discrete case. Finally, we investigate the convergence order of the fully discrete scheme.
