Domain-integrated field equations approach to static magnetic field computation-application to some two-dimensional configurations

The recently developed domain-integrated field equations approach to static magnetic field computation is applied to some two-dimensional configuratio ns, viz, a model rotor/stator slat configuration and a model magnetic recor ding head configuration. Consistently linear edge expansion functions are u sed for the magnetic field strength, together with consistently linear face expansion functions for the magnetic flux density, both on a triangular me sh. The method handles large contrasts in material properties on a coarse m esh, with excellent global error properties, in acceptable computation time s.
