Electromagnetics

Higher education teachers: Humar Iztok, Križaj Dejan, Sinigoj Anton Rafael

Subject description

Prerequisits:

Enrolment in the 1st year of doctoral study programme, Fundamentals of electrical engineering, higher mathematics, fundamentals of numerical methods in engineering.

Content (Syllabus outline):

The course is constructed of three parts:

• Theoretical part in which we repeat Maxwell’s laws in integral form and transform them to a differential one. Poynting theorem, Helmholtz equation, Green formulation are introduced. Mathematical formulation of electromagnetic field for numerical computation is analysed.
• Aspects of numerical simulations in electromagnetics are discussed (possible simplifications, boundary conditions, discretization of equations, meshing, methods for numerical computation).
• A concrete practical example of an electromagnetic structure is analysed and suitably modelled using computational tools for numerical simulations in electromagnetics.

Objectives and competences:

• In depth understanding of electromagnetic field..
• Understanding numerical methods in electrical engineering
• Virtual design electromagnetic structures and systems.
• Solving a concrete simulation case.

Intended learning outcomes:

• deeper understanding on the theory of electromagnetic field,
• understand and use computational methods in electromagnetics,
• understand and use computer tools for numerical simulations.

Learning and teaching methods:

• Lectures,
• research work,
• usage of computer tools for numerical simulations.
