A three-dimensional iterative scheme for an electromagnetic capacitive applicator.
An efficient iterative method for solving quasi-static electromagnetic field problems is presented. A relaxation function is introduced in the quasi-static field equations. Then, the resulting equations can be solved by iteration. The method is similar to the one of solving a Laplace equation by computing the stationary state of a diffusion equation. Next, for a radially layered configuration the numerical results are compared with the results from an existing integral equation method. Subsequently, for a realistic three-dimensional model of a human knee numerical results are arrived at.
