In this paper a Geometric T-Ω formulation to solve eddy-current problems on a tetrahedral mesh is presented. When non-simply-connected conducting regions are considered, the formulation requires the so-called thick cuts, while, in the literature, more attention is usually given to the so-called thin cuts. While the automatic construction of thin cuts has been theoretically solved many years ago, no implementation of an algorithm to compute the thick cuts which can be used in practice exists so far. In this paper, we propose how to fill this gap by introducing an algorithm to automatically compute the thick cuts on real-sized meshes, based on a belted tree and a tree-cotree decomposition. The belted tree is constructed by means of a homology computation by exploiting efficient reduction methods. A number of benchmarks are presented to demonstrate the generality and the robustness of the algorithm.

Abstract
In this paper a Geometric T-Ω formulation to solve eddy-current problems on a tetrahedral mesh is presented. When non-simply-connected conducting regions are considered, the formulation requires the so-called thick cuts, while, in the literature, more attention is usually given to the so-called thin cuts. While the automatic construction of thin cuts has been theoretically solved many years ago, no implementation of an algorithm to compute the thick cuts which can be used in practice exists so far. In this paper, we propose how to fill this gap by introducing an algorithm to automatically compute the thick cuts on real-sized meshes, based on a belted tree and a tree-cotree decomposition. The belted tree is constructed by means of a homology computation by exploiting efficient reduction methods. A number of benchmarks are presented to demonstrate the generality and the robustness of the algorithm. A rigorous definition of thick cuts, which necessarily has to rely on cohomology, is presented in addition.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
