1 Introduction

Magnetic and magnetorheological fluids have been increasingly used in recent years [1ndash3]Their properties especially viscosity can be significantly changed by the effects of themagnetic field [4ndash10] The mathematical model is in such cases composed of Maxwellrsquosand NavierndashStokes equations [11] which are mostly solved by numerical methods [12ndash15]One of these models is presented at the end of this paper The solution behavior of thementioned models can be assessed on the basis of the symmetry or asymmetry of theoperators forming the mathematical model [1617] Let us write for example Maxwellrsquosequations in the following operator form

∣∣∣∣∣∣ = 0 (2)

From here the symmetry of the problem for a nonconductive environment wherej = 0 ρ = 0 is quite obvious Furthermore it follows that the non-stationary field isrotational because it is not possible to set E = gradφ It is therefore necessary to use newmethods for non-stationary problems solution The operator equations written in thesummation symbolics also show that

(curlE)i = εijkpartEkpartxj

(3)

The expression partEkpartxj

can be decomposed into

a symmetric Ekj =12

(partEkpartxj

+partEjpartxk

)and

an antisymmetric part Ekj =12

(partEkpartxjminus partEj

partxk

)

While the LevindashCivit tensor εijk is antisymmetric only the antisymmetric part Ekj isused in Expression (3) Thus

(curlE)i = εijkEkj (4)

These modifications could be deepened by a more detailed study of the symmetryof the mathematical model operators depending on the boundary conditions A newformulation of Maxwellrsquos equations which is essentially based on Gaussrsquos divergencetheorem [17] can also contribute to this analysis

According to the authors the mathematical formulation of Gaussrsquos divergence the-orem is underestimated in terms of the physical substantiality of the problem Gaussrsquosdivergence theorem explains the following important finding every spatial change in thephysical variable f(x t) regardless of its tensor character has its response at the boundaryof a closed region int

V

partf(x t)partxi

dV =intS

f(x t)nidS (5)

where f can be understood as a symbolic variable Of course the term (5) has the oppositemeaning If we act on the boundary of the region S with the effect of the variable f thisvariable changes within the volume V In brief every change within the volume V can bemeasured at the boundary S where it is reflected in its functional value see Figure 1

Figure 1 General volume of the liquid V surrounded by continuous closed area S that consists ofopen areas S (outlined by closed curve k) Volume V can be split into control volumes ∆V closed bycontrol areas ∆S

This principle can be used in qualitative analysis numerical methods and optimiza-tion of the electromagnetic field The main reason is that this principle gives a very goodidea both qualitative and quantitative of the influence of boundary conditions on theproblem which assignment is often in hands of the researcher

After all in electromagnetic fields solution the engineering practice successfully usesintegral identities both on the principle of Gaussian divergence theorem for the closed areaS and Stokes theorem for the open area S bounded by a curve k [15ndash19]

For example

curlE + partBpartt = 0

intk

Edk +intS

partBpartt middotndS = 0 (6)

and others [20] Since this paper is focused on solving non-stationary problems it isappropriate to modify Maxwellrsquos equations into a more suitable form for optimizationqualitative analysis and numerical methods This can be achieved by using Gaussrsquosdivergence theorem and the symmetry of the Kronecker delta operator

(δij = δji

) The

adjustment applies to all non-stationary terms of Maxwellrsquos equations for non-conductivemedia and partB

partt for conductive media where j 6= 0 ρ 6= 0 The modification the proof ofwhich is given in Section 2 can be expressed by a non-stationary term in a more suitableform for the application of Gaussrsquos divergence theorem

The scalar variant of Maxwellrsquos equations (Section 4) is also presented in the workwhere new functions are introduced

Based on (7) by integrating (6) over the domain V surrounded by the surface S newintegral identities can be found this time over the closed surface where all boundaryconditions appear int

xdS = 0 (11)

The proof is given in Section 2 It follows from the above-mentioned equations that thearticle focuses on the appropriate modification of Maxwellrsquos equations so that the influenceof non-stationary terms in the field V is expressed by their values on the boundary S ofthe closed region The solution is based on the use of symmetry conditions and Gaussrsquosdivergence theorem The use of this procedure for qualitative analysis numerical methodsand optimization are presented in the individual Sections for both the vector variantand the scalar variant of Maxwellrsquos equations Both conductive and non-conductiveenvironments are considered in the solution The last Section presents a mathematicalmodel of the interaction of a magnetorheological fluid with a magnetic field Even forthis interdisciplinary problem Gaussrsquos divergence theorem can be used to redefine themathematical model of NavierndashStokes equations An example is given in Section 6

A special part is devoted to the finite volume method for non-stationary problems [13ndash22]In the classical method a non-stationary term is identified through the control volume interms of the mean values of the integral calculus This method does not allow the use ofthe finite volume method while the new variant will allow it see Section 2

2 Symmetry in Principles of the Solution

In the technical sciences symmetry conditions play a special role especially in thestability conditions of the system [131423] They have the same importance in the solution

of electromagnetism tasks where we can find in the term partBipartxj

and partDipartxj

These terms concludethe symmetric Sij and antisymmetric Aij part It can be written

partBipartxj

= Sij + Aij where (12)

Sij =12

(partBipartxj

)and Aij =

12

(partBipartxjminus

partBj

partxi

)Based on the symmetry principles it is possible to find new shapes of Maxwellrsquos

equations using the Gauss divergence theorem The principle can be explained for exampleon magnetic induction Let us consider the following equations

curlE = minuspartBpartt

divB = 0 (13)

The same formulated in the index symbolic (Einstein summation symbolics)

εijkpartEkpartxj

= minuspartBipartt

partBipartxi

= 0 (14)

Einsteinrsquos summation symbolic is used in the mentioned relation and the followingtext We note that these relations depend on the antisymmetric operator εijk and the

expression partEkpartxj

which can be decomposed into symmetric and antisymmetric parts (seeSection 1) Therefore in the left part of Equation (14) only the antisymmetric part of theexpression partEk

partxjmanifests

After these remarks let us proceed to a derivation of a new variant of the equationεijk

partEkpartxj

= minus partBipartt by modifying its right part containing a non-stationary term We start from

the validity of the equation partBipartxi

= 0 For this purpose let us put

The relationship uses per partes integration in 3D space After using a Kronecker deltasymmetry adjustment

Thus Bjpartxipartxj

BidV =intS

BjxinjdS or in the vector form (17)

Because it also holds that partpartxj

Expressions (19) and (20) are very important because they point out the fact thatunsteady states of the magnetic flux density are generated on the borders of the areaand vice versa From the Expression (17) follows the next important result based on thedivergence theorem

partBipartt

=part

partxj

(partBj

Using Expression (21) it is possible to correct the form of Equation (14) on the principleof symmetry After the substitution of the above-mentioned criteria we obtain a new shapeof Maxwell equations

part

partxj

(εijkEk +

partBj

parttxi

)= 0 (22)

In Equation (22) the first term in bracelets represents the antisymmetric tensor ofsecond grade and in the second term it is possible to decompose into the symmetric andantisymmetric parts

Equation (19) can be used to modify the control volume methodIn the current control volumes method the integration of the non-stationary term

given in Maxwellrsquos equations is expressed on the basis of the mean value of the integralcalculus [511ndash14202224] Thus in the form (see Figure 1)

d(∆V) =partBc

where

∆V =13

After the integration over the volume V (22) can be easily written in the vector variant

Note that from the obtained results (20) it is observable that the non-stationary changein magnetic induction within the field V can be determined by integration only at thesystem boundary Conversely time changes in the magnetic induction in the field V aregenerated at the system boundary This fact can be advantageously used for both qualitativeanalysis of non-stationary boundary conditions and optimization of non-stationary tasksby selecting a suitable target function depending on the boundary conditions For thenon-conductive space the derivations are described in Section 3

Due to the validity of Equations (17) and (18) using transform (21) new forms ofMaxwellrsquos equations can be written without evidence since

S

(34)

From the above it is visible that in the case of a non-conductive environment it ispossible to derive a new variant for all Maxwellrsquos equations All the conclusions given inSection 3 remain valid including the control volumes method

All these results can be used to solve the interdisciplinary problem of the motion of anincompressible fluid with the effects of a nonconductive magnetic field using the Maxwellstress tensor for this case see Section 6

4 The Scalar Variants of Maxwellrsquos Equations

By the scalar variant of Maxwellrsquos equations [13] we mean the product of the multi-plication of Equation (13) and the position vector x

curlEmiddotx = minus partBpartt middotx

εijkpartEkpartxj

xi = minus partBipartt xi

(35)

The results of the solution of the scalar variant can be used again for the boundary con-ditions analysis and in the optimization area For the solution the divergence theorem (13)is beneficially used

divB = 0 rArrpartBj

partxjxixi = 0 (36)

By analogy to (15) we apply the multiplication

From Equation (40) and using the divergence theorem it is possible to derive thefollowing important dependence that allows one to reformulate Maxwellrsquos Equation (35)

When we implement (42) into (35) we obtain

The term in the bracelet can again be divided into the symmetric and antisymmetricparts as well as in (22) In the integral form

For the vector form it holdsintS

[(partBparttmiddotn)(xmiddotx) + 2(ntimes E)x

One of the scalar variants of Maxwellrsquos equations was again derived under the as-sumption of Gaussrsquos divergence theorem validity Derived relationships can be used toevaluate the results obtained by numerical methods Even in this case non-stationarychanges in magnetic induction are reflected at the boundary of the region and here it ispossible to determine their values as a function of time The resulting equations can also beeasily used for optimization because the target function is scalar in this case

(50)

The new form of Maxwellrsquos equations is useful whether for analysis or numericalsolution Comparing the left sides of Equations (49) and (50) it is obvious that non-stationary variables D(x t) B(x t) are generated only at the boundary of the system andtherefore it is possible to influence their process within the volume V This can be essentialin optimizing the non-stationary problems of electromagnetism

Here scalar variants of Maxwellrsquos equations were also derived under the assumptionof Gaussrsquos divergence theorem validity Derived relations can be used to evaluate theresults obtained by numerical methods Even in this case non-stationary changes inmagnetic induction and electrical induction are reflected at the boundary of the region andhere their values can be determined as a function of time The resulting equations can alsobe easily used for optimization because the target function is scalar in this case

6 An Interaction of a Non-Conductive Magnetic Liquid with a Magnetic Field

In Section 3 it is shown that in the case of a non-conductive environment it is possibleto derive a new variant for all Maxwellrsquos equations All the conclusions given in the Sectionremain valid including the control volumes method All these results can be used insolving the interdisciplinary problem of the motion of an incompressible fluid with theeffects of a non-conductive magnetic field using the Maxwell stress tensor for this case [3]In the presented case we assume

ρe = 0 B = micro0H + M M = χH (51)

The density of the volumetric magnetic force that acts on the elementary volume canbe written in the form [8]

f = 12 χ gradH2 H2 = HmiddotH (52)

NavierndashStokes equations of the magnetic liquid in the presented case are in theform [21125ndash27]

(53)

Considering

Symmetry 2021 13 868 9 of 12

then Equation (53) can be written in a more transparent form

ρpartvipartt

Because the liquid is considered to be incompressible the continuity equation is inthe form

partvipartxi

Now if we consider Equation (21) the NavierndashStokes equation for the incompressiblemagnetic liquid can be written in a new form

part

By comparing the original equation Equation (53) and the new equation Equation (57)the advantage of the new variant is evident both for the numerical solution by the finitevolume method and for the analysis of the influence of boundary conditions Since in theabove-mentioned case assuming diva = 0 with respect to (20) it holds

7 Discussion

A new formulation of Maxwellrsquos equations was derived both in differential andintegral variants The basis for the derivation was Gaussrsquos divergence theorem used formagnetic flux density B and electric flux density D By the use of Gaussrsquos divergencetheorem Maxwellrsquos equations were transformed This resulted in a tool that can be used inthe numerical finite volume method and optimization The obtained equations will alsoallow the qualitative analysis of the influence of boundary conditions The mentionedchanges concern the non-stationary terms of the type partB

8 Conclusions

The work was focused on the analysis of non-stationary Maxwell equations A newshape of non-stationary magnetic flux density was derived This made the analyses ofMaxwellrsquos equations possible by using the Gaussian divergence theorem Maxwellrsquosequations were defined in both vector and scalar variants The new shape of the Maxwellequations simplifies the analyses of the solution quality depending on the boundaryconditions considering the non-stationary magnetic induction It also allows the numericalsolution of Maxwellrsquos equations to be extended to the large control volume method Usingthe Gaussian divergence theorem the new method allows the region to be optimizeddepending on the non-stationary field of magnetic induction

A special part was devoted to the finite volume method for non-stationary problemsIn the classical method a non-stationary term is identified through the control volume interms of the mean values of the integral calculus This method does not allow the use oflarge control volumes while the new variant allows it

Both conductive and non-conductive environments were considered in the solutionThe last Section presents a mathematical model of the interaction of a magnetorheologicalfluid with a magnetic field Even for this interdisciplinary problem Gaussrsquos divergencetheorem can be used to redefine the mathematical model of NavierndashStokes equations

While the LevindashCivit tensor εijk is antisymmetric only the antisymmetric part Ekj isused in Expression (3) Thus

(curlE)i = εijkEkj (4)

These modifications could be deepened by a more detailed study of the symmetryof the mathematical model operators depending on the boundary conditions A newformulation of Maxwellrsquos equations which is essentially based on Gaussrsquos divergencetheorem [17] can also contribute to this analysis

According to the authors the mathematical formulation of Gaussrsquos divergence the-orem is underestimated in terms of the physical substantiality of the problem Gaussrsquosdivergence theorem explains the following important finding every spatial change in thephysical variable f(x t) regardless of its tensor character has its response at the boundaryof a closed region int

V

partf(x t)partxi

dV =intS

f(x t)nidS (5)

where f can be understood as a symbolic variable Of course the term (5) has the oppositemeaning If we act on the boundary of the region S with the effect of the variable f thisvariable changes within the volume V In brief every change within the volume V can bemeasured at the boundary S where it is reflected in its functional value see Figure 1

Figure 1 General volume of the liquid V surrounded by continuous closed area S that consists ofopen areas S (outlined by closed curve k) Volume V can be split into control volumes ∆V closed bycontrol areas ∆S

This principle can be used in qualitative analysis numerical methods and optimiza-tion of the electromagnetic field The main reason is that this principle gives a very goodidea both qualitative and quantitative of the influence of boundary conditions on theproblem which assignment is often in hands of the researcher

After all in electromagnetic fields solution the engineering practice successfully usesintegral identities both on the principle of Gaussian divergence theorem for the closed areaS and Stokes theorem for the open area S bounded by a curve k [15ndash19]

For example

and others [20] Since this paper is focused on solving non-stationary problems it isappropriate to modify Maxwellrsquos equations into a more suitable form for optimizationqualitative analysis and numerical methods This can be achieved by using Gaussrsquosdivergence theorem and the symmetry of the Kronecker delta operator

(δij = δji

) The

adjustment applies to all non-stationary terms of Maxwellrsquos equations for non-conductivemedia and partB

The proof is given in Section 2 It follows from the above-mentioned equations that thearticle focuses on the appropriate modification of Maxwellrsquos equations so that the influenceof non-stationary terms in the field V is expressed by their values on the boundary S ofthe closed region The solution is based on the use of symmetry conditions and Gaussrsquosdivergence theorem The use of this procedure for qualitative analysis numerical methodsand optimization are presented in the individual Sections for both the vector variantand the scalar variant of Maxwellrsquos equations Both conductive and non-conductiveenvironments are considered in the solution The last Section presents a mathematicalmodel of the interaction of a magnetorheological fluid with a magnetic field Even forthis interdisciplinary problem Gaussrsquos divergence theorem can be used to redefine themathematical model of NavierndashStokes equations An example is given in Section 6

A special part is devoted to the finite volume method for non-stationary problems [13ndash22]In the classical method a non-stationary term is identified through the control volume interms of the mean values of the integral calculus This method does not allow the use ofthe finite volume method while the new variant will allow it see Section 2

2 Symmetry in Principles of the Solution

In the technical sciences symmetry conditions play a special role especially in thestability conditions of the system [131423] They have the same importance in the solution

of electromagnetism tasks where we can find in the term partBipartxj

and partDipartxj

These terms concludethe symmetric Sij and antisymmetric Aij part It can be written

partBipartxj

Sij =12

(partBipartxj

)and Aij =

(partBipartxjminus

)Based on the symmetry principles it is possible to find new shapes of Maxwellrsquos

equations using the Gauss divergence theorem The principle can be explained for exampleon magnetic induction Let us consider the following equations

curlE = minuspartBpartt

divB = 0 (13)

The same formulated in the index symbolic (Einstein summation symbolics)

εijkpartEkpartxj

= minuspartBipartt

partBipartxi

= 0 (14)

Einsteinrsquos summation symbolic is used in the mentioned relation and the followingtext We note that these relations depend on the antisymmetric operator εijk and the

expression partEkpartxj

which can be decomposed into symmetric and antisymmetric parts (seeSection 1) Therefore in the left part of Equation (14) only the antisymmetric part of theexpression partEk

partxjmanifests

After these remarks let us proceed to a derivation of a new variant of the equationεijk

partEkpartxj

= minus partBipartt by modifying its right part containing a non-stationary term We start from

the validity of the equation partBipartxi

= 0 For this purpose let us put

The relationship uses per partes integration in 3D space After using a Kronecker deltasymmetry adjustment

Thus Bjpartxipartxj

Expressions (19) and (20) are very important because they point out the fact thatunsteady states of the magnetic flux density are generated on the borders of the areaand vice versa From the Expression (17) follows the next important result based on thedivergence theorem

partBipartt

partxj

(partBj

Using Expression (21) it is possible to correct the form of Equation (14) on the principleof symmetry After the substitution of the above-mentioned criteria we obtain a new shapeof Maxwell equations

(εijkEk +

partBj

parttxi

)= 0 (22)

In Equation (22) the first term in bracelets represents the antisymmetric tensor ofsecond grade and in the second term it is possible to decompose into the symmetric andantisymmetric parts

Equation (19) can be used to modify the control volume methodIn the current control volumes method the integration of the non-stationary term

given in Maxwellrsquos equations is expressed on the basis of the mean value of the integralcalculus [511ndash14202224] Thus in the form (see Figure 1)

After the integration over the volume V (22) can be easily written in the vector variant

Note that from the obtained results (20) it is observable that the non-stationary changein magnetic induction within the field V can be determined by integration only at thesystem boundary Conversely time changes in the magnetic induction in the field V aregenerated at the system boundary This fact can be advantageously used for both qualitativeanalysis of non-stationary boundary conditions and optimization of non-stationary tasksby selecting a suitable target function depending on the boundary conditions For thenon-conductive space the derivations are described in Section 3

partxi= 0 (29)

Due to the validity of Equations (17) and (18) using transform (21) new forms ofMaxwellrsquos equations can be written without evidence since

(34)

From the above it is visible that in the case of a non-conductive environment it ispossible to derive a new variant for all Maxwellrsquos equations All the conclusions given inSection 3 remain valid including the control volumes method

All these results can be used to solve the interdisciplinary problem of the motion of anincompressible fluid with the effects of a nonconductive magnetic field using the Maxwellstress tensor for this case see Section 6

4 The Scalar Variants of Maxwellrsquos Equations

By the scalar variant of Maxwellrsquos equations [13] we mean the product of the multi-plication of Equation (13) and the position vector x

curlEmiddotx = minus partBpartt middotx

εijkpartEkpartxj

xi = minus partBipartt xi

(35)

The results of the solution of the scalar variant can be used again for the boundary con-ditions analysis and in the optimization area For the solution the divergence theorem (13)is beneficially used

divB = 0 rArrpartBj

partxjxixi = 0 (36)

By analogy to (15) we apply the multiplication

From Equation (40) and using the divergence theorem it is possible to derive thefollowing important dependence that allows one to reformulate Maxwellrsquos Equation (35)

When we implement (42) into (35) we obtain

The term in the bracelet can again be divided into the symmetric and antisymmetricparts as well as in (22) In the integral form

For the vector form it holdsintS

[(partBparttmiddotn)(xmiddotx) + 2(ntimes E)x

One of the scalar variants of Maxwellrsquos equations was again derived under the as-sumption of Gaussrsquos divergence theorem validity Derived relationships can be used toevaluate the results obtained by numerical methods Even in this case non-stationarychanges in magnetic induction are reflected at the boundary of the region and here it ispossible to determine their values as a function of time The resulting equations can also beeasily used for optimization because the target function is scalar in this case

(50)

The new form of Maxwellrsquos equations is useful whether for analysis or numericalsolution Comparing the left sides of Equations (49) and (50) it is obvious that non-stationary variables D(x t) B(x t) are generated only at the boundary of the system andtherefore it is possible to influence their process within the volume V This can be essentialin optimizing the non-stationary problems of electromagnetism

Here scalar variants of Maxwellrsquos equations were also derived under the assumptionof Gaussrsquos divergence theorem validity Derived relations can be used to evaluate theresults obtained by numerical methods Even in this case non-stationary changes inmagnetic induction and electrical induction are reflected at the boundary of the region andhere their values can be determined as a function of time The resulting equations can alsobe easily used for optimization because the target function is scalar in this case

6 An Interaction of a Non-Conductive Magnetic Liquid with a Magnetic Field

In Section 3 it is shown that in the case of a non-conductive environment it is possibleto derive a new variant for all Maxwellrsquos equations All the conclusions given in the Sectionremain valid including the control volumes method All these results can be used insolving the interdisciplinary problem of the motion of an incompressible fluid with theeffects of a non-conductive magnetic field using the Maxwell stress tensor for this case [3]In the presented case we assume

ρe = 0 B = micro0H + M M = χH (51)

The density of the volumetric magnetic force that acts on the elementary volume canbe written in the form [8]

f = 12 χ gradH2 H2 = HmiddotH (52)

NavierndashStokes equations of the magnetic liquid in the presented case are in theform [21125ndash27]

(53)

Considering

then Equation (53) can be written in a more transparent form

ρpartvipartt

(ρvivj minus σij minus ρδijgkxk minus

Because the liquid is considered to be incompressible the continuity equation is inthe form

partvipartxi

= divv = 0 (56)

Now if we consider Equation (21) the NavierndashStokes equation for the incompressiblemagnetic liquid can be written in a new form

part

By comparing the original equation Equation (53) and the new equation Equation (57)the advantage of the new variant is evident both for the numerical solution by the finitevolume method and for the analysis of the influence of boundary conditions Since in theabove-mentioned case assuming diva = 0 with respect to (20) it holds

8 Conclusions

The work was focused on the analysis of non-stationary Maxwell equations A newshape of non-stationary magnetic flux density was derived This made the analyses ofMaxwellrsquos equations possible by using the Gaussian divergence theorem Maxwellrsquosequations were defined in both vector and scalar variants The new shape of the Maxwellequations simplifies the analyses of the solution quality depending on the boundaryconditions considering the non-stationary magnetic induction It also allows the numericalsolution of Maxwellrsquos equations to be extended to the large control volume method Usingthe Gaussian divergence theorem the new method allows the region to be optimizeddepending on the non-stationary field of magnetic induction

A special part was devoted to the finite volume method for non-stationary problemsIn the classical method a non-stationary term is identified through the control volume interms of the mean values of the integral calculus This method does not allow the use oflarge control volumes while the new variant allows it

Both conductive and non-conductive environments were considered in the solutionThe last Section presents a mathematical model of the interaction of a magnetorheologicalfluid with a magnetic field Even for this interdisciplinary problem Gaussrsquos divergencetheorem can be used to redefine the mathematical model of NavierndashStokes equations

and others [20] Since this paper is focused on solving non-stationary problems it isappropriate to modify Maxwellrsquos equations into a more suitable form for optimizationqualitative analysis and numerical methods This can be achieved by using Gaussrsquosdivergence theorem and the symmetry of the Kronecker delta operator

The proof is given in Section 2 It follows from the above-mentioned equations that thearticle focuses on the appropriate modification of Maxwellrsquos equations so that the influenceof non-stationary terms in the field V is expressed by their values on the boundary S ofthe closed region The solution is based on the use of symmetry conditions and Gaussrsquosdivergence theorem The use of this procedure for qualitative analysis numerical methodsand optimization are presented in the individual Sections for both the vector variantand the scalar variant of Maxwellrsquos equations Both conductive and non-conductiveenvironments are considered in the solution The last Section presents a mathematicalmodel of the interaction of a magnetorheological fluid with a magnetic field Even forthis interdisciplinary problem Gaussrsquos divergence theorem can be used to redefine themathematical model of NavierndashStokes equations An example is given in Section 6

A special part is devoted to the finite volume method for non-stationary problems [13ndash22]In the classical method a non-stationary term is identified through the control volume interms of the mean values of the integral calculus This method does not allow the use ofthe finite volume method while the new variant will allow it see Section 2

2 Symmetry in Principles of the Solution

In the technical sciences symmetry conditions play a special role especially in thestability conditions of the system [131423] They have the same importance in the solution

and partDipartxj

These terms concludethe symmetric Sij and antisymmetric Aij part It can be written

partBipartxj

Sij =12

equations using the Gauss divergence theorem The principle can be explained for exampleon magnetic induction Let us consider the following equations

divB = 0 (13)

The same formulated in the index symbolic (Einstein summation symbolics)

εijkpartEkpartxj

partBipartxi

Einsteinrsquos summation symbolic is used in the mentioned relation and the followingtext We note that these relations depend on the antisymmetric operator εijk and the

expression partEkpartxj

which can be decomposed into symmetric and antisymmetric parts (seeSection 1) Therefore in the left part of Equation (14) only the antisymmetric part of theexpression partEk

partxjmanifests

After these remarks let us proceed to a derivation of a new variant of the equationεijk

partEkpartxj

the validity of the equation partBipartxi

The relationship uses per partes integration in 3D space After using a Kronecker deltasymmetry adjustment

Thus Bjpartxipartxj

Expressions (19) and (20) are very important because they point out the fact thatunsteady states of the magnetic flux density are generated on the borders of the areaand vice versa From the Expression (17) follows the next important result based on thedivergence theorem

Using Expression (21) it is possible to correct the form of Equation (14) on the principleof symmetry After the substitution of the above-mentioned criteria we obtain a new shapeof Maxwell equations

In Equation (22) the first term in bracelets represents the antisymmetric tensor ofsecond grade and in the second term it is possible to decompose into the symmetric andantisymmetric parts

Equation (19) can be used to modify the control volume methodIn the current control volumes method the integration of the non-stationary term

given in Maxwellrsquos equations is expressed on the basis of the mean value of the integralcalculus [511ndash14202224] Thus in the form (see Figure 1)

Note that from the obtained results (20) it is observable that the non-stationary changein magnetic induction within the field V can be determined by integration only at thesystem boundary Conversely time changes in the magnetic induction in the field V aregenerated at the system boundary This fact can be advantageously used for both qualitativeanalysis of non-stationary boundary conditions and optimization of non-stationary tasksby selecting a suitable target function depending on the boundary conditions For thenon-conductive space the derivations are described in Section 3

Due to the validity of Equations (17) and (18) using transform (21) new forms ofMaxwellrsquos equations can be written without evidence since

(34)

From the above it is visible that in the case of a non-conductive environment it ispossible to derive a new variant for all Maxwellrsquos equations All the conclusions given inSection 3 remain valid including the control volumes method

All these results can be used to solve the interdisciplinary problem of the motion of anincompressible fluid with the effects of a nonconductive magnetic field using the Maxwellstress tensor for this case see Section 6

4 The Scalar Variants of Maxwellrsquos Equations

By the scalar variant of Maxwellrsquos equations [13] we mean the product of the multi-plication of Equation (13) and the position vector x

curlEmiddotx = minus partBpartt middotx

εijkpartEkpartxj

xi = minus partBipartt xi

(35)

The results of the solution of the scalar variant can be used again for the boundary con-ditions analysis and in the optimization area For the solution the divergence theorem (13)is beneficially used

divB = 0 rArrpartBj

By analogy to (15) we apply the multiplication

From Equation (40) and using the divergence theorem it is possible to derive thefollowing important dependence that allows one to reformulate Maxwellrsquos Equation (35)

When we implement (42) into (35) we obtain

The term in the bracelet can again be divided into the symmetric and antisymmetricparts as well as in (22) In the integral form

For the vector form it holdsintS

One of the scalar variants of Maxwellrsquos equations was again derived under the as-sumption of Gaussrsquos divergence theorem validity Derived relationships can be used toevaluate the results obtained by numerical methods Even in this case non-stationarychanges in magnetic induction are reflected at the boundary of the region and here it ispossible to determine their values as a function of time The resulting equations can also beeasily used for optimization because the target function is scalar in this case

(50)

The new form of Maxwellrsquos equations is useful whether for analysis or numericalsolution Comparing the left sides of Equations (49) and (50) it is obvious that non-stationary variables D(x t) B(x t) are generated only at the boundary of the system andtherefore it is possible to influence their process within the volume V This can be essentialin optimizing the non-stationary problems of electromagnetism

Here scalar variants of Maxwellrsquos equations were also derived under the assumptionof Gaussrsquos divergence theorem validity Derived relations can be used to evaluate theresults obtained by numerical methods Even in this case non-stationary changes inmagnetic induction and electrical induction are reflected at the boundary of the region andhere their values can be determined as a function of time The resulting equations can alsobe easily used for optimization because the target function is scalar in this case

6 An Interaction of a Non-Conductive Magnetic Liquid with a Magnetic Field

In Section 3 it is shown that in the case of a non-conductive environment it is possibleto derive a new variant for all Maxwellrsquos equations All the conclusions given in the Sectionremain valid including the control volumes method All these results can be used insolving the interdisciplinary problem of the motion of an incompressible fluid with theeffects of a non-conductive magnetic field using the Maxwell stress tensor for this case [3]In the presented case we assume

ρe = 0 B = micro0H + M M = χH (51)

The density of the volumetric magnetic force that acts on the elementary volume canbe written in the form [8]

f = 12 χ gradH2 H2 = HmiddotH (52)

NavierndashStokes equations of the magnetic liquid in the presented case are in theform [21125ndash27]

(53)

Considering

partxi(gkxk) (54)

Symmetry 2021 13 868 9 of 12

then Equation (53) can be written in a more transparent form

ρpartvipartt

partxj

(ρvivj minus σij minus ρδijgkxk minus

χδijH2)= 0 (55)

Because the liquid is considered to be incompressible the continuity equation is inthe form

partvipartxi

= divv = 0 (56)

Now if we consider Equation (21) the NavierndashStokes equation for the incompressiblemagnetic liquid can be written in a new form

part

parttxi + ρvivj minus σij minus ρδij

By comparing the original equation Equation (53) and the new equation Equation (57)the advantage of the new variant is evident both for the numerical solution by the finitevolume method and for the analysis of the influence of boundary conditions Since in theabove-mentioned case assuming diva = 0 with respect to (20) it holds

8 Conclusions

The work was focused on the analysis of non-stationary Maxwell equations A newshape of non-stationary magnetic flux density was derived This made the analyses ofMaxwellrsquos equations possible by using the Gaussian divergence theorem Maxwellrsquosequations were defined in both vector and scalar variants The new shape of the Maxwellequations simplifies the analyses of the solution quality depending on the boundaryconditions considering the non-stationary magnetic induction It also allows the numericalsolution of Maxwellrsquos equations to be extended to the large control volume method Usingthe Gaussian divergence theorem the new method allows the region to be optimizeddepending on the non-stationary field of magnetic induction

A special part was devoted to the finite volume method for non-stationary problemsIn the classical method a non-stationary term is identified through the control volume interms of the mean values of the integral calculus This method does not allow the use oflarge control volumes while the new variant allows it

Both conductive and non-conductive environments were considered in the solutionThe last Section presents a mathematical model of the interaction of a magnetorheologicalfluid with a magnetic field Even for this interdisciplinary problem Gaussrsquos divergencetheorem can be used to redefine the mathematical model of NavierndashStokes equations

The new form of Maxwellrsquos equations is useful whether for analysis or numericalsolution Comparing the left sides of Equations (49) and (50) it is obvious that non-stationary variables D(x t) B(x t) are generated only at the boundary of the system andtherefore it is possible to influence their process within the volume V This can be essentialin optimizing the non-stationary problems of electromagnetism

Here scalar variants of Maxwellrsquos equations were also derived under the assumptionof Gaussrsquos divergence theorem validity Derived relations can be used to evaluate theresults obtained by numerical methods Even in this case non-stationary changes inmagnetic induction and electrical induction are reflected at the boundary of the region andhere their values can be determined as a function of time The resulting equations can alsobe easily used for optimization because the target function is scalar in this case

6 An Interaction of a Non-Conductive Magnetic Liquid with a Magnetic Field

In Section 3 it is shown that in the case of a non-conductive environment it is possibleto derive a new variant for all Maxwellrsquos equations All the conclusions given in the Sectionremain valid including the control volumes method All these results can be used insolving the interdisciplinary problem of the motion of an incompressible fluid with theeffects of a non-conductive magnetic field using the Maxwell stress tensor for this case [3]In the presented case we assume

ρe = 0 B = micro0H + M M = χH (51)

The density of the volumetric magnetic force that acts on the elementary volume canbe written in the form [8]

f = 12 χ gradH2 H2 = HmiddotH (52)

NavierndashStokes equations of the magnetic liquid in the presented case are in theform [21125ndash27]

(53)

Considering

then Equation (53) can be written in a more transparent form

ρpartvipartt

(ρvivj minus σij minus ρδijgkxk minus

Because the liquid is considered to be incompressible the continuity equation is inthe form

Now if we consider Equation (21) the NavierndashStokes equation for the incompressiblemagnetic liquid can be written in a new form

part

By comparing the original equation Equation (53) and the new equation Equation (57)the advantage of the new variant is evident both for the numerical solution by the finitevolume method and for the analysis of the influence of boundary conditions Since in theabove-mentioned case assuming diva = 0 with respect to (20) it holds

8 Conclusions

The work was focused on the analysis of non-stationary Maxwell equations A newshape of non-stationary magnetic flux density was derived This made the analyses ofMaxwellrsquos equations possible by using the Gaussian divergence theorem Maxwellrsquosequations were defined in both vector and scalar variants The new shape of the Maxwellequations simplifies the analyses of the solution quality depending on the boundaryconditions considering the non-stationary magnetic induction It also allows the numericalsolution of Maxwellrsquos equations to be extended to the large control volume method Usingthe Gaussian divergence theorem the new method allows the region to be optimizeddepending on the non-stationary field of magnetic induction

A special part was devoted to the finite volume method for non-stationary problemsIn the classical method a non-stationary term is identified through the control volume interms of the mean values of the integral calculus This method does not allow the use oflarge control volumes while the new variant allows it

Both conductive and non-conductive environments were considered in the solutionThe last Section presents a mathematical model of the interaction of a magnetorheologicalfluid with a magnetic field Even for this interdisciplinary problem Gaussrsquos divergencetheorem can be used to redefine the mathematical model of NavierndashStokes equations

7 Discussion

A new formulation of Maxwellrsquos equations was derived both in differential andintegral variants The basis for the derivation was Gaussrsquos divergence theorem used formagnetic flux density B and electric flux density D By the use of Gaussrsquos divergencetheorem Maxwellrsquos equations were transformed This resulted in a tool that can be used inthe numerical finite volume method and optimization The obtained equations will alsoallow the qualitative analysis of the influence of boundary conditions The mentionedchanges concern the non-stationary terms of the type partB

8 Conclusions

The work was focused on the analysis of non-stationary Maxwell equations A newshape of non-stationary magnetic flux density was derived This made the analyses ofMaxwellrsquos equations possible by using the Gaussian divergence theorem Maxwellrsquosequations were defined in both vector and scalar variants The new shape of the Maxwellequations simplifies the analyses of the solution quality depending on the boundaryconditions considering the non-stationary magnetic induction It also allows the numericalsolution of Maxwellrsquos equations to be extended to the large control volume method Usingthe Gaussian divergence theorem the new method allows the region to be optimizeddepending on the non-stationary field of magnetic induction

A special part was devoted to the finite volume method for non-stationary problemsIn the classical method a non-stationary term is identified through the control volume interms of the mean values of the integral calculus This method does not allow the use oflarge control volumes while the new variant allows it

Both conductive and non-conductive environments were considered in the solutionThe last Section presents a mathematical model of the interaction of a magnetorheologicalfluid with a magnetic field Even for this interdisciplinary problem Gaussrsquos divergencetheorem can be used to redefine the mathematical model of NavierndashStokes equations

We assume σ = 0 ρe = 0 In this case Maxwellrsquos equations will have the indexsymbolic form [13]

Due to the validity of Equations (17) and (18) using transform (21) new forms ofMaxwellrsquos equations can be written without evidence since

(34)

From the above it is visible that in the case of a non-conductive environment it ispossible to derive a new variant for all Maxwellrsquos equations All the conclusions given inSection 3 remain valid including the control volumes method

All these results can be used to solve the interdisciplinary problem of the motion of anincompressible fluid with the effects of a nonconductive magnetic field using the Maxwellstress tensor for this case see Section 6

4 The Scalar Variants of Maxwellrsquos Equations

By the scalar variant of Maxwellrsquos equations [13] we mean the product of the multi-plication of Equation (13) and the position vector x

curlEmiddotx = minus partBpartt middotx

εijkpartEkpartxj

xi = minus partBipartt xi

(35)

The results of the solution of the scalar variant can be used again for the boundary con-ditions analysis and in the optimization area For the solution the divergence theorem (13)is beneficially used

divB = 0 rArrpartBj

One of the scalar variants of Maxwellrsquos equations was again derived under the as-sumption of Gaussrsquos divergence theorem validity Derived relationships can be used toevaluate the results obtained by numerical methods Even in this case non-stationarychanges in magnetic induction are reflected at the boundary of the region and here it ispossible to determine their values as a function of time The resulting equations can also beeasily used for optimization because the target function is scalar in this case

If we return to the problem of a non-conductive environment we can rewriteEquations (28) and (29) in a differential form

(50)

The new form of Maxwellrsquos equations is useful whether for analysis or numericalsolution Comparing the left sides of Equations (49) and (50) it is obvious that non-stationary variables D(x t) B(x t) are generated only at the boundary of the system andtherefore it is possible to influence their process within the volume V This can be essentialin optimizing the non-stationary problems of electromagnetism

Here scalar variants of Maxwellrsquos equations were also derived under the assumptionof Gaussrsquos divergence theorem validity Derived relations can be used to evaluate theresults obtained by numerical methods Even in this case non-stationary changes inmagnetic induction and electrical induction are reflected at the boundary of the region andhere their values can be determined as a function of time The resulting equations can alsobe easily used for optimization because the target function is scalar in this case

6 An Interaction of a Non-Conductive Magnetic Liquid with a Magnetic Field

In Section 3 it is shown that in the case of a non-conductive environment it is possibleto derive a new variant for all Maxwellrsquos equations All the conclusions given in the Sectionremain valid including the control volumes method All these results can be used insolving the interdisciplinary problem of the motion of an incompressible fluid with theeffects of a non-conductive magnetic field using the Maxwell stress tensor for this case [3]In the presented case we assume

ρe = 0 B = micro0H + M M = χH (51)

The density of the volumetric magnetic force that acts on the elementary volume canbe written in the form [8]

f = 12 χ gradH2 H2 = HmiddotH (52)

NavierndashStokes equations of the magnetic liquid in the presented case are in theform [21125ndash27]

(53)

Considering

then Equation (53) can be written in a more transparent form

ρpartvipartt

partxj

(ρvivj minus σij minus ρδijgkxk minus

χδijH2)= 0 (55)

Because the liquid is considered to be incompressible the continuity equation is inthe form

partvipartxi

= divv = 0 (56)

Now if we consider Equation (21) the NavierndashStokes equation for the incompressiblemagnetic liquid can be written in a new form

part

partvj

parttxi + ρvivj minus σij minus ρδij

By comparing the original equation Equation (53) and the new equation Equation (57)the advantage of the new variant is evident both for the numerical solution by the finitevolume method and for the analysis of the influence of boundary conditions Since in theabove-mentioned case assuming diva = 0 with respect to (20) it holds

Here scalar variants of Maxwellrsquos equations were also derived under the assumptionof Gaussrsquos divergence theorem validity Derived relations can be used to evaluate theresults obtained by numerical methods Even in this case non-stationary changes inmagnetic induction and electrical induction are reflected at the boundary of the region andhere their values can be determined as a function of time The resulting equations can alsobe easily used for optimization because the target function is scalar in this case

6 An Interaction of a Non-Conductive Magnetic Liquid with a Magnetic Field

In Section 3 it is shown that in the case of a non-conductive environment it is possibleto derive a new variant for all Maxwellrsquos equations All the conclusions given in the Sectionremain valid including the control volumes method All these results can be used insolving the interdisciplinary problem of the motion of an incompressible fluid with theeffects of a non-conductive magnetic field using the Maxwell stress tensor for this case [3]In the presented case we assume

ρe = 0 B = micro0H + M M = χH (51)

The density of the volumetric magnetic force that acts on the elementary volume canbe written in the form [8]

f = 12 χ gradH2 H2 = HmiddotH (52)

NavierndashStokes equations of the magnetic liquid in the presented case are in theform [21125ndash27]

Because the liquid is considered to be incompressible the continuity equation is inthe form

Now if we consider Equation (21) the NavierndashStokes equation for the incompressiblemagnetic liquid can be written in a new form

A special part was devoted to the finite volume method for non-stationary problemsIn the classical method a non-stationary term is identified through the control volume interms of the mean values of the integral calculus This method does not allow the use oflarge control volumes while the new variant allows it

Both conductive and non-conductive environments were considered in the solutionThe last Section presents a mathematical model of the interaction of a magnetorheologicalfluid with a magnetic field Even for this interdisciplinary problem Gaussrsquos divergencetheorem can be used to redefine the mathematical model of NavierndashStokes equations

8 Conclusions

The work was focused on the analysis of non-stationary Maxwell equations A newshape of non-stationary magnetic flux density was derived This made the analyses ofMaxwellrsquos equations possible by using the Gaussian divergence theorem Maxwellrsquosequations were defined in both vector and scalar variants The new shape of the Maxwellequations simplifies the analyses of the solution quality depending on the boundaryconditions considering the non-stationary magnetic induction It also allows the numericalsolution of Maxwellrsquos equations to be extended to the large control volume method Usingthe Gaussian divergence theorem the new method allows the region to be optimizeddepending on the non-stationary field of magnetic induction

A special part was devoted to the finite volume method for non-stationary problemsIn the classical method a non-stationary term is identified through the control volume interms of the mean values of the integral calculus This method does not allow the use oflarge control volumes while the new variant allows it

Both conductive and non-conductive environments were considered in the solutionThe last Section presents a mathematical model of the interaction of a magnetorheologicalfluid with a magnetic field Even for this interdisciplinary problem Gaussrsquos divergencetheorem can be used to redefine the mathematical model of NavierndashStokes equations
