Mixed Finite Element approximation of an MHD problem involving conducting and insulating regions: the 2D case

Similarity:

We show that the Maxwell equations in the low frequency limit, in a domain composed of insulating and conducting regions, has a saddle point structure, where the electric field in the insulating region is the Lagrange multiplier that enforces the curl-free constraint on the magnetic field. We propose a mixed finite element technique for solving this problem, and we show that, under mild regularity assumption on the data, Lagrange finite elements can be used as an alternative to edge...

Waves of excitations in heterogeneous annular region II. Strong asymmetry

Kristóf Kály-Kullai, András Volford, Henrik Farkas (2003)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

Excitation wave propagation in a heterogeneous medium around a circular obstacle is investigated, when the obstacle is located very eccentrically with respect to the interfacial circle separating the slow inner and the fast outer region. Qualitative properties of the permanent wave fronts are described, and the calculated wave forms are presented.

Convergence results of the fictitious domain method for a mixed formulation of the wave equation with a Neumann boundary condition

Similarity:

The problem of modeling acoustic waves scattered by an object with Neumann boundary condition is considered. The boundary condition is taken into account by means of the fictitious domain method, yielding a first order in time mixed variational formulation for the problem. The resulting system is discretized with two families of mixed finite elements that are compatible with mass lumping. We present numerical results illustrating that the Neumann boundary condition on the object is...
