Efficient convolution based impedance boundary condition

by A. Paganini and M. López-Fernández

(Report number 2013-07)

Abstract
We consider an eddy current problem in time-domain and rely on impedance boundary conditions on the surface of the conductor(s). With a “method of lines policy” in mind, we pursue a semi-discretization in space by a finite element Ritz-Galerkin discretization. The resulting set of Volterra integral equations in time is discretized by means of ${Runge-Kutta convolution quadrature} $ (CQ) focusing on fast and oblivious implementations. The final algorithm is validated by several numerical experiments.

Keywords: eddy current problem, impedance boundary conditions, convolution quadrature, fast and oblivious algorithms
