Frequency-Domain EM (simpeg.electromagnetics.frequency_domain)#

The frequency_domain module contains functionality for solving Maxwell’s equations in the frequency-domain for controlled sources. Where a \(+i\omega t\) Fourier convention is used, this module is used to solve problems of the form:

\[\begin{split}\begin{align} \nabla \times \vec{E} + i\omega \vec{B} &= - i \omega \vec{S}_m \\ \nabla \times \vec{H} - \vec{J} &= \vec{S}_e \end{align}\end{split}\]

where the constitutive relations between fields and fluxes are given by:

  • \(\vec{J} = (\sigma + i \omega \varepsilon) \vec{E}\)

  • \(\vec{B} = \mu \vec{H}\)

and:

  • \(\vec{S}_m\) represents a magnetic source term

  • \(\vec{S}_e\) represents a current source term
