A Manto Carlo Technique for Solving Eddy Current Problems

Summary from only given, as follows. With the recent progress in the parallel processing technology, there comes the need to reinvestigate various techniques employed in computational electromagnetics. The Monte Carlo technique discussed is one alternative that has the attractive feature of requiring very little set up time. Because no grid or volume discretization is involved, a smaller demand on storage capacity is required. The approach proposed in based on the random walk idea of a particle saying about in a medium, and registering information upon contact with a boundary. The standard Helmholtz type equation encountered in eddy current problem in solved by lotting one particle become multiple particles in its walk through the problem. Application to a simple 2-D eddy current problem is presented. The results indicate that on a data parallel system such as Maspar MP-1, the Monte Carlo method become competitive as a total solution approach for problems involving more than 400 unknowns.
