A Study of 2-D Eddy Current Problem Using Boundary Element Method

경계요소법을 이용한 2차원 와전류 문제에 대한 연구

This paper presents a study of 2-dimensional(2-D) eddy current problem using boundary element method(BEM). When compared with finite element method(FEM), there are only a few unknown variables in BEM because it implements numerical analysis only for the surface or boundary of a model. As a result, a lot of computational memory and time can be saved. In order to analyze 2-D eddy current problem, potentials and its derivatives(flux) in a boundary are used as variables. The Mantel function of the second kind of the zero order is used here as a fundamental solution. In order to remove singularity and to solve the integral equations in a boundary, Subtracting Singularity Method and Gauss Quadrature Formula are adopted in this paper.
