We consider a linearised model of incompressible inviscid flow. Using a regularisation based on the Hodge Laplacian we prove existence and uniqueness of weak solutions for smooth domains. The model problem is then discretised using [Formula: see text](div)-conforming finite element methods, for which we prove error estimates for the velocity approximation in the [Formula: see text]-norm of order [Formula: see text]. We also prove error estimates for the pressure error in the [Formula: see text]-norm.

A set of sufficient conditions for the well posedness and the convergence of the finite element approximation of three-dimensional time-harmonic electromagnetic boundary value problems involving non-conducting rotating objects with stationary boundaries or bianisotropic media is provided for the first time to the best of authors’ knowledge. It is shown that it is not difficult to check the validity of these conditions and that they hold true for broad classes of practically important problems which involve rotating or bianisotropic materials. All details of the applications of the theory are provided for electromagnetic problems involving rotating axisymmetric objects.

This work aims at providing a mathematical and numerical framework for the analysis on the effects of pulsed electric fields on the physical media that have a heterogeneous permittivity and a heterogeneous conductivity. Well-posedness of the model interface problem and the regularity of its solutions are established. A fully discrete finite element scheme is proposed for the numerical approximation of the potential distribution as a function of time and space simultaneously for an arbitrary-shaped pulse, and it is demonstrated to enjoy the optimal convergence order in both space and time. The new results and numerical scheme have potential applications in the fields of electromagnetism, medicine, food sciences, and biotechnology.
