Time-domain all-frequency stable formulation for low-frequency electromagnetic simulation with Newmark-β time integration
An implicitly Coulomb-gauged A-ϕ formulation has previously been proposed and validated for finite ele- ment simulations of low-frequency and multiscale electromag- netic problems in the frequency domain. This formulation has demonstrated numerical stability across all frequencies, with its accuracy, efficiency, and iterative convergence established in various frequency-domain scenarios. However, direct time- domain computation is often preferable for wideband electro- magnetic problems and is typically indispensable in nonlinear and multiphysics simulations. In this work, the A-ϕ formulation is extended to the time domain. By incorporating the well-known Newmark-β time integration scheme, the proposed formulation is validated through capacitive and inductive test cases. The results confirm the solution’s accuracy and demonstrate the formulation’s stability in the time domain.
