Parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs) as the eddy current problem or the heat equation depend both on the space and on time. For simulating these problems one often chooses a method of lines approach, i.e., the space is discretized first and the arising system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) is solved with a time integration scheme. In this context, one can apply domain decomposition approaches and Parallel-in-Time (PinT) methods to increase efficiency through parallelization.

This thesis deals with applying the PinT method ParaReal to the heat equation. For domain decomposition and space discretization a code framework based on mortaring and IsoGeometric Analysis (IGA) is provided. We want to apply the examined methods for the simulation of electrical machines (eddy current problem), so another focus lies on the validation of results and measuring the increase in efficiency in comparison to other approaches.
