Efficient solvers for nonlinear time-periodic eddy current problems

Abstract: This work deals with all aspects of the numerical simulation of nonlinear time-periodic eddy current problems, ranging from the description of the nonlinearity to an efficient solution procedure. Due to the periodicity of the solution, we suggest a truncated Fourier series expansion, i.e. a so-called multiharmonic ansatz, instead of a costly time-stepping scheme. Linearization is done by a Newton iteration, where the preconditioning of the linearized problems is a special issue: Since the matrices are non-symm… Show more

“…This method is called the multiharmonic or harmonic balance finite element method. It has been shown in [4] that the convergence of the Fourier approximation is generally of order N −1 (where N is the number of Fourier terms considered in the truncation) but can be much faster for simple harmonic excitations [5] [6].…”

“…Time-periodic problems appear typically in special physical situations, for example, in eddy current simulations [1], or when periodic forcing is used, like for periodically forced reactors, see [28,30]. The numerical simulation of time-periodic problems is a special area of research, since the time-periodicity modifies the problem structure and solution methods significantly; see, for example, [4,25,27].…”

“…On the other hand the size of the nonlinear system is multiplied by N h compared to the time-domain approach. (Note that the convergence of the Fourier approximation is generally of order N −1 h [22], but can be much faster for simple excitations [17,23]). …”
