STUDYING ELECTRIC SCALAR POTENTIAL FORMULATIONS FOR COMPUTING ELECTRIC POTENTIAL AND CURRENT DISTRIBUTION IN CONDUCTING MATERIALS BY A FINITE ELEMENT APPROACH

Abstract

Computing and simulating electromagnetic prolems play an increasingly important role for researchers, manufacturers and operators of electrical-electronic equipments. Hence, studying, computing and analyzing electromagnetic problems in general and electrokinetic problems in particular are always a matter of concern and topicality for researchers and designers in Viet Nam as well as all over the world. This journal developes electrokinetic formulations to analyse, compute and simulate the distribution of elecctric scalar potentials and electric currents in conducting materials by a finite element approach. The development of the method is illustrated and validated on a practical problem.
