Perfectly Matched Layer (PML) for Computational Electromagnetics

The Perfectly Matched Layer in Curvilinear Coordinates

In 1994 B erenger showed how to construct a perfectly matched absorbing layer for the Maxwell system in rectilinear coordinates. This layer absorbs waves of any wavelength and any frequency without reeection and thus can be used to artiicially terminate the domain of scattering calculations. In this paper we show how to derive and implement the B erenger layer in curvilinear coordinates (in two...

Choice of the perfectly matched layer boundary condition for frequency-domain Maxwell's equations solvers

We show that the performance of frequency-domain solvers of Maxwell’s equations is greatly affected by the kind of the perfectly matched layer (PML) used. In particular, we demonstrate that using the stretched-coordinate PML (SC-PML) results in significantly faster convergence speed than using the uniaxial PML (UPML). Such a difference in convergence behavior is explained by an analysis of the ...

A General Perfectly Matched Layer Model for Hyperbolic-Parabolic Systems

This paper describes a very general absorbing layer model for hyperbolic-parabolic systems of partial differential equations. For linear systems with constant coefficients it is shown that the model possesses the perfect matching property, i.e., it is a perfectly matched layer (PML). The model is applied to two linear systems: a linear wave equation with a viscous damping term and the linearize...
