Abstract
A new indirect Boundary Element Method (BEM) formulation for 2-D eddy current problems is illustrated. The salient advantage of the formulation is that it is valid for mixed (skin effect and/or induction) problems. The present work describes the formulation of the solution and results are given for different illustrating problems. Examples are presented for induction, skin effect (impressed current) and mixed multiple body problems. Previous formulations are discussed in a review fashion with selected references. A wide range of frequency and separating distances is examined. The evaluation of the method covers the aspects of robustness, numerical accuracy and implementation.
