To solve the system, we adopt a technique based on the “zero-energy-contribution” contribution, which separates the magnetic and fluid fields from the coupled system. Additionally, making use of the pressure projection methods, the pressure variable appears explicitly in the velocity field equation, and would be computed in the form of a Poisson equation. Therefore, the total system is divided into several smaller sub-systems that could be simulated at a significantly low cost. We prove the unconditional energy stability, unique solvability and optimal error estimates for the proposed scheme, and present numerical results to verify the accuracy, efficiency and stability of the scheme.展开更多
