A Composite Method of Finite Element and of Boundary Integral Methods for the Magnetic Field Problems with Open Boundary |
| Abstract |
A Composite method of finite element and boundary integral methods is introduced to solve the magnetostatic field problems with open boundary. Only the region of prime interest is taken as the compution region where the finite element method is applied. The boundary conditions of the region are dealt with using boundary integral method. The boundary integration in the boundary integral method is done by numerical and analytical techniques repectively. The proposed method is applied to a simple linear problem, and the results are compared with those of the finite element method and the analytic solutions. It is concluded that the proposed method gives more accurate results than the finite element method under the same computing efforts. |
