Corner asymptotics of the magnetic potential in the eddy‐current model

Abstract

Abstract:In this paper, we describe the scalar magnetic potential in the vicinity of a corner of a conducting body embedded in a dielectric medium in a bidimensional setting. We make explicit the corner asymptotic expansion for this potential as the distance to the corner goes to zero. This expansion involves singular functions and singular coefficients. We introduce a method for the calculation of the singular functions near the corner and we provide two methods to compute the singular coefficients: the method of moments and the method of quasi-dual singular functions. Estimates for the convergence of both approximate methods are proven. We eventually illustrate the theoretical results with finite element computations. The specific non-standard feature of this problem lies in the structure of its singular functions: They have the form of series whose first terms are harmonic polynomials and further terms are genuine non-smooth functions generated by the piecewise constant zeroth order term of the operator.

Asymptotic expansions and effective boundary conditions: a short review for smooth and nonsmooth geometries with thin layers

“…A first idea consists in correcting the approximate solution v ε with the difference γ √ ε(K − Z) x ε , the profiles Z and K being computed as a preliminary step. This kind of method has been introduced in [14,24,26] for similar problems, see also a remark in [27,Appendix B.5.2]. Here are the steps of the algorithm…”

The Laplace equation in 3D domains with cracks: dual singularities with log terms and extraction of corresponding edge flux intensity functions

“…Let be the part of the dual solution associated with the negative eigenvalue α j , so that Following the construction of dual singularities introduced in , it appears here that the dual singularities , which are associated with an integer eigenvalue , contain logarithmic terms in ρ . In this paper, we make the following ansatz for these dual singularities: and hereafter, we provide explicit recursive ODEs for the determination of the corresponding polar parts ψ j , ℓ ( ϕ )and .…”

“…For homogeneous Neumann BCs, we have first to consider α 0 =0. For α 0 =0, there is no dual eigenvalue, so we use the logarithmic solution presented in to obtain : The next integer dual eigenvalue is α 2 =−1, and for it, is …”
