A New Method to Recover Vectorial Electric Fields and Current Densities from Unstructured Meshes

In the context of 2-D and 3-D unstructured mixed-element meshes, a new method of recover-ing vectorial fields and currents in multidimensional simulation is introduced. The new
method, called the method of edge elements, directly interpolates the projections of the vec-
tors on the edges of an element into its interior. The new method is compared to two other
recovery methods on the basis of resolution, consistency, and implementation ease.
