Eigenmodes of accelerator cavities are cataloged based on their electromagnetic fields in order to analyze the performance of the device. The nomenclature is originally defined for cylindrical pillbox cavities where the eigenfrequencies and corresponding field distributions are known analytically. Due to the complex shape of real-world cavities, in practice the eigenmodes need to be determined using numerical simulations. The attempt to automatically classify eigenmodes by post-processing the numerical field solution is still cumbersome1. Therefore, the focus of this work is to investigate automatic mode recognition by deforming the cavity geometry to a pillbox and tracking the eigenmodes during the deformation.

Time domain simulations of electromagnetic energy converters using the standard sequential time integration approach are often computationally expensive due to the need of a very fine resolution along the time axis. Parallelization methods such as the Parareal algorithm have recently become a powerful acceleration tool because of their capability to distribute the workload among several processing units. This work aims at the exploitation of Parareal within magnetoquasistatic computations, e.g., for simulation of induction motorsin the time domain.

Magnetostrictive Electronic Article Surveillance Tags (EAS) are a common tool to prevent shoplifting and make use of the magnetoelastic coupling to convert electromagnetic energy into mechanical energy and vice versa. They usually consist of thin magnetostrictive metal strips (see Fig. 1) that vibrate once exposed to the magnetic field at the exit of the shop. This, in turn, changes the magnetization of the strip, inducing an AC voltage and activating an alarm in the detector.

Deviations in the manufacturing process of electronic components may lead to rejections due to malfunctioning. Uncertain design variables can be modeled as random variables. Then, the probability that a product fulfills its performance feature specifications is called the yield. The aim of our research is to estimate the yield and then maximizing the yield, which corresponds to minimizing the failure probability.

For the simulation of electromagnetic fields in many situations, quasistatic approximations to Maxwell’s equations are sufficient. The most well-known approximations are magneto-quasistatics (MQS) and electro-quasistatics (EQS). However, there is another formulation due to Darwin [1] which essentially combines MQS and EQS and allows to predict the behavior of problems as shown in Fig. 1. The Darwin formulation is less explored from the view point of computational engineering and thus many questions can be addressed within a thesis project.

The Finite element method (FEM) in the frequency domain is one of the most powerful methods for the solution of high frequency electromagnetic field problems for resonators, filters, attenuators,etc. In many practical applications, however, the frequency response of the system over a broad frequency band is required.Fast Frequency Sweeping (FFS) is a class of methods used for the estimation of broadband S-parameters based on evaluation of a minimum amount of frequency points. Modern FFS methods include Reduced Basis Methods, Thiele based interpolation, Asymptotic Waveform Evaluation and Vector Fitting. Each of the methods have advantages and disadvantages depending on the specific characteristics of the frequency response of the system.

Isogeometric analysis (IGA) is a finite element method (FEM) using splines for geometry description and basis functions such that the geometry can be exactly represented. Recently, an isogeometric mortar coupling [1] for electromagnetic problems was proposed. It is particularly well suited for the eigenfrequency prediction of superconducting accelerator cavities. Each cell, see Fig. 1, can be represented by a different subdomain but may still share the same discretization. The approach leads to a (stable and spectral correct) saddle-point problem. However, its numerical solution is cumbersome and iterative substructuring methods become attractive. The resulting system is available from a Matlab/Octave code. In this project the finite element tearing and interconnect method (FETI) shall be investigated and standard, possibly low-rank,preconditioners implemented and
