Transient eddy current formulation including moving conductors using the FI method

Recently introduced time domain formulations based on the Finite Integratio n Method (FI) allow to calculate slowly-varying electromagnetic fields with various implicit time-stepping techniques, In this paper such a Finite-Dif ference-Implicit-Time-Domain (EDiTD) formulation is extended to consider un idirectional motion of conductors within the computational domain. A moving -coordinate scheme suited for high Peclet numbers and a fixed-coordinate fo rmulation are presented on the basis of the Maxwell-Grid-Equations. The res ulting large algebraic systems of equations are solved by iterative methods for each time step. Numerical results of both methods are compared to resu lts of a test problem configuration.
