Resistive heating in an electrified domain with a spherical inclusion: an ALEGRA verification study

DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1670528· OSTI ID:1670528

A verification study is conducted for the ALEGRA software, using the problem of an electrified medium with a spherical inclusion, paying special attention to resistive heating. We do so by extending an existing analytic solution for this problem to include both conducting and insulating inclusions, and we examine the effects of mesh resolution and mesh topology, considering both body-fitted and rectangular meshes containing mixed cells. We present observed rates of convergence with respect to mesh refinement for four electromagnetic quantities: electric potential, electric field, current density and Joule power.
