Improving Efficiency of the Secondary Sources Method for Modeling of the Three-Dimensional Electromagnetic Field of Eddy Currents (original) (raw)

A mathematical model is constructed for calculating a three-dimensional quasistationary electromagnetic field in a piecewise-homogeneous medium containing massive conductors which is excited by a variable magnetic field. The field is varying in time according to an arbitrary law. It is proposed to use the integral relation instead of the boundary condition written at a point, which allows one to get away from the problem of collocation points and at the same time increase the computational efficiency of the numerical model. The magnetic field is calculated for the case of the excitation of eddy currents in a conducting sample containing a cut of finite size. The results obtained are confirmed by natural experiments.
