Abstract

In this work, we simulate the coupled physics describing a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanner by using a higher order finite element discretisation and a Newton‐Raphson algorithm. To apply the latter, a linearisation of the non‐linear system of equations is necessary and we consider two altern...
