An E-based splitting finite element method for time-dependent eddy current equations

A new decoupled finite element method is suggested to approximate time-dependent eddy current equations in a three-dimensional polyhedral domain. This method is based on solving a vector and a scalar from the splitting of the electric field by using edge and nodal finite elements. An optimal energy-norm error estimate in finite time is obtained by introducing a projection operator. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.X114sciescopu
