Abstract
Based on a proposed inexact Hodge decomposition, this paper describes a viable scheme using the second order finite elements in the T-Ω method considering multiply-connected regions for the eddy current problems. Several numerical examples have been presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of this scheme.
