The efficient computation of large eddy-current problems with finiteelements requires adaptive methods and fast optimal iterative solvers such as multigrid methods. This paper provides an overview of the most important implementation aspects of an adaptive multigrid scheme for time-harmonic eddy currents. Numerical experiments show that the standard multigrid scheme can be modified to yield an O(N) complexity even for general adaptive refinement strategies, where the number of unknowns N can grow slowly from one to the next refinement level. Algorithmic details and numerical examples are given.

We present a recently developed multigrid calculation scheme for coupled magnetomechanical systems. The scheme allows the efficient calculation of three-dimensional (3-D) dynamic rigid motions as well as deformations of nonmagnetic and ferromagnetic materials in a magnetic field. Thereby, the 3-D mechanical problem is discretized with nodal elements and the 3-D magnetic problem with edge elements. Both finiteelement meshes may be chosen independently and thus can be separately adapted to the physical requirements of the mechanical and magnetic fields. Fast multigrid solution techniques can solve large scaled 3-D problems within very short CPU times. Three examples demonstrate the efficiency of the developed scheme.

In Li and Liang (1983), the simplified hybrid-combined method is presented for combining the Ritz-Galerkin method and the finite-element method. In this paper we will apply this method to solve singularity problems of Laplace's equation. Error bounds and stability analyses will be provided while taking into account the integration approximation along the coupling boundary. A significant coupling relation between the Ritz-Galerkin and the finite-element method has been found for the Laplace equation with singularities. An optimal rate of convergence has also been achieved. Numerical experiments have been carried out for solving the benchmark problem: Motz's problem to verify the theoretical results.

The estimation and calculation of the acoustic sound of electric machinery is of high interest. Various approaches have been presented relying either on analytical or on numerical models. In general, the analytical models are based on the electromagnetic-field theory, and the results are compared to measurements. Numerical models allow for the separation of different exciting forces stemming from various effects. In the studied case of an induction machine (IM) with squirrel-cage rotor the three following effects are taken into account in the analytical model: the fundamental field, saturation, and eccentricity. Nevertheless, the numerical results have to be verified. Hence, they are compared to the physically based analytical results. The radiated noise depends directly on the surface's deformation of the machine. Therefore, the analysis is focused on the structure-dynamic vibrations. The combined analysis presented here, allows for the reduction of vibrations and noise optimizing the coupling of stator and housing. The studied IM's housing is mounted with six spiral-steel springs to the stator. With the presented method the impact of different numbers of pins is analyzed.

Different finite-element method (FEM) formulations have been developed in order to model the electromagnetic behavior of type-II superconductors. This paper presents a comparison between simulations with A-V formulation models implemented in two FEM software packages (FLUX2D and FLUX3D) and a numerical method based on analytical model for superconductors in applied magnetic field. These models can be used for superconductors with complex geometry and power-law current-voltage characteristics. Simulated is a 37-filamentary tape with applied transport current in self-field and alternating current (ac) magnetic field parallel to the wide side of the tape. A good agreement is found between the ac-loss and current distributions obtained with the different models.

The reduced basis method (RBM) generates low-order models of parametrized partial differential equations. These allow for the efficient evaluation of parametrized models in many-query and real-time contexts. We use the RBM to generate low-order models of microscale models under variation of frequency, geometry, and material parameters. In particular, we focus on the efficient estimation of the discrete stability constant used in the reducced basis error estimation. A good estimation of the discrete stability constant is a challenging problem for Maxwell's equations, but is needed to yield rigorous bounds on the model approximation error. We therefore test and compare

An efficient procedure is developed for simultaneously characterizing the time-domain and frequency-domain behavior of electromagnetic devices. The procedure works in the complex-frequency plane-called the s-domain-and provides an analytical expression for the behavior of the device at any frequency and for any transient excitation. This analytical expression is obtained by first evaluating a reduced-order model of the poles and zeros of the device. These poles and zeros are then used to characterize the device in terms of rational polynomials in the s-domain. Two different methods for evaluating reduced-order models are presented. One is called asymptotic waveform evaluation (AWE) and is combined,vith the finite-element method;the other is called adaptive Lanzcos-Pade sweep (ALPS) and is combined with the boundary-element method. The resulting reduced-order models provide the frequency-domain behavior of the device over a broad bandwidth. Using the Laplace transform, these reduced-order models also provide the time-domain behavior. Several numerical examples have been run using commercial electronic design automation (EDA) software to demonstrate that this solution procedure is a highly efficient and accurate way to characterize the electromagnetic performance of real-life devices.

In this paper, we present a technique for solving largescale problems arising from the discretization of an integral formulation for three-dimensional eddy current problems in the magnetoquasi-static limit using edge-element-based shape functions. The proposed approach is in the framework of the precorrected fast Fourier transform method (PFFTM) that allows to compute the product of the full stiffness matrix with a vector in O(N log N) operations. A key point of standard PFFTM is the introduction of point-like sources defined onto a regular grid to approximate an arbitrary current density in the conductor and to compute the large distance interactions by FFT. Point-like sources are not suitable for representing solenoidal current densities as required for eddy currents problems. In this paper, edge-element-based shape functions onto the regular grid are introduced instead of the point-like sources. This allows us to improve the approximation (solenoidal current densities are approximated by solenoidal basis functions) and to reduce further the computational cost.

More than a decade ago, Bramble, Pasciak and Xu developed a framework inanalyzing the multigrid methods with nonnested spaces or non-inherited quadratic forms. It wassubsequently known as the BPX multigrid framework, which was widely used in the analysis ofmultigrid and domain decomposition methods. However, the framework has an apparent limit in theanalysis of nonnested V-cycle methods, and it produces a variable V-cycle, or nonuniform convergencerate V-cycle methods, or other nonoptimal results in analysis thus far. This paper completes along-time effort in extending the BPX multigrid framework so that it truly covers the nonnestedV-cycle. We will apply the extended BPX framework to the analysis of many V-cycle nonnestedmultigrid methods. Some of them were proven previously only for two-level and W-cycle *** numerical results are presented to support the theoretical analysis of this paper.

Two multigrid methods designed for the solution of a finite-element discretization of Poisson's equation in spherical geometry are presented and compared. One of these, based upon an approximate local least-squares inverse (LS1), has been previously reported by J. R. Baumgardner and P. O. Frederickson [SIAM J. Numer. Anal., 22 (1985), pp. 1107-1115];the other, developed by the authors, employs a "mass lumped" line Jacobi smoothing procedure that is entirely new. The new method is shown to be both more economical and considerably more robust than that based upon the LS1 smoothing iteration.
