On solution of Maxwell's equations in axisymmetric domains with edges. Part II: Numerical aspects

In this paper we consider the Fourier-finite-element method for treating the Maxwell's equations in three-dimensional axisymmetric domains with reentrant edges. By means of partial Fourier analysis, the 3D BVP is decomposed into an infinite sequence of 2D variational equations in the plane meridian domain of the axisymmetric domain, a finite number of which is considered and treated using nodal H1-conforming finite elements. For domains with reentrant edges, the singular field method is employed to compensate the singular behavior of the solutions. Emphases are given to estimates of the Fourier-finite-element approximation error and convergence analysis in the H1-norm under different regularity assumptions. (author)
