Geometric T–Ω approach to solve eddy currents coupled to electric circuits

This paper describes a systematic geometric approach to solve magneto-quasi-static coupled field–circuit problems. The field problem analysis is based on formulating the boundary value problem with an electric vector potential and a scalar magnetic potential. The field–circuit coupling and the definition of potentials are formally examined within the framework of homology theory. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
