Magnetic field - time-harmonic quasi-static equation

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Dear Comsol community,

I work with induction heating and I was looking to the equations in order to increase my comprehension (I am a mechanical engineer) and I am blocked on the time-harmonic quasi-static formulation.

In attached file, you can follow the equations flow. You will see that I have a portion of the equation that Comsol get rid of. Unfortunately, I don't understand why. From how it is explained in the doc ( ACDC user guide 4.4 p.33), it would be caused by the hypothesis of being in quasi-static case. But, what does it implies (in the equation)?

Thank in advance for your help!

Patrice Gouin

Dear all,

I found the answer in the doc at page 235-239 of ACDC 4.3 guide (256-260 for version 4.4).

Basically, if I understood well, it is simply caused by a gauge transformation that makes (σ+jωε)∇V disapear.

Best regards,
