A‐POSTERIORI ADAPTIVE MESH REFINEMENT IN THE FINITE ELEMENT EDDY CURRENT COMPUTATION

Abstract

Two a‐posteriori error estimators are presented for adaptive mesh generation in eddy current finite element computation : the discontinuity of the magnetic flux density on the interface between neighboring elements and the energy perturbation between 1st and 2nd order finite element meshes. Validation of the results is being accomplished by application of the adaptive refinement in the case of a T‐shaped slot embedded conductor, a problem several times approached in the literature.
