Abstract :
This paper deals with the acceleration of the hybrid finite-element/boundary-element analysis of three-dimensional (3-D) eddy-current problems by means of the fast multipole method. An adaptive truncation scheme for the multipole expansion of the 3-D Laplace Green function is proposed. As an application example, the TEAM workshop problem 28 is considered. The computational cost without and with fast multipole acceleration is discussed.
