An improved solution scheme for open-boundary skin effect problems

FEM/DBCI (Dirichlet Boundary Condition Iteration) Is a hybrid method which has been successfully applied to the finite element solution of static and quasistatic unbounded field problems. It is based on the iterative improvem ent of a Dirichlet condition on a fictitious boundary enclosing all the con ductors, making use of the free-space Green's function. In this paper it is shown that for two-dimensional skin effect problems a more robust solving strategy can be pursued by means of GMRES, obtaining a reduction in both CP U and storage requirements.
