Abstract: The governing equation of electromagnetic field in moving conductor is of convective-diffusive type. To suppress the spurious oscillations which occur in its Galerkin FEM solution when the grid Peclet number is greater than one and to avoid an inappropriate treatment of diffusive term by Heinrich's upwind scheme, a modified upwind scheme of Heinrich's type is proposed. The scheme is applied to FEM analysis of several electromagnetic field problems in moving conductor.

Key words: moving conductor, electromagnetic field, finite element, upwind FEM
