Dear deal.II community,

i am working on my master thesis (MU Leoben, Austria) with the general topic "simulation induction heating". I want to try out a new program and want to use deal.II for the simulation (I have no experience with this program). Concerning this matter i have some question about deal.II:

  • First of all, has someone experience with this kind of problem? Is there a topic in the doc about simulation induction heating? 
  • The second question is about the elements. What kind of element formalism is used for the simulation of electromagnet fields, or is it possible, to implement new elements?
  • The third question is about the coupling schemes for coupling the electromagnetic with the thermal problem. Usable coupling schemes for this problem? 
Many thanks for your help.

Best regards 
Andreas

Dear Andreas,

This is a specialized application domain; I am not sure if anyone here has done induction heating but I will do my best to try and point you in a useful direction.

1. I don't think we have any examples in the documentation about how to solve this problem. However, there are other examples of heat transfer in papers citing deal.II: check out the list at
2. For electromagnetism you probably want to use the Nedelec_SZ element. These elements tend to be very complicated so it is probably best to use one that is already in the library.
3. I don't know how to couple the electromagnetic field to the thermal problem.

Thanks,
David Wells

Hello dear Dr.  Wells,
I am a graduate research assistant. I have recieved a project which I should solve the advection-diffusion equation using by deal.ii ASAP.
Could you please let me know about the possibility of using deal.ii by windows. Should I do it just in Linux?
BR.

Hi Masod,

Welcome to the project!

The project works on Windows with the WSL and also with Microsoft's own toolchain (visual studio and MSVC): see
for notes on how to do it. Most of the developers use Linux; I recommend using Linux for this reason.

Thanks,
David Wells
