Analyzing Electromagnetic Structures With Curved Boundaries on Cartesian FDTD Meshes

چکیده
In this paper, a new finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) algorithm is investigated to analyze electromagnetic structures with curved boundaries using a Cartesian coordinate system. The new algorithm is based on a nonorthogonal FDTD method. However, only those cells near the curved boundaries are calculated by nonorthogonal FDTD formulas; most of the grid is orthogonal and can be determined by traditional FDTD formulas. Therefore, this new algorithm is more efficient than general nonorthogonal FDTD schemes in terms of computer resources such as memory and central processing unit (CPU) time. Simulation results are presented and compared to those using other methods.

An Efficient and Accurate Method to Solve Low Frequency and Non-Conformal Problems Using Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD)
In this article we present νFDTD (New FDTD), an efficient and accurate method for solving low frequency problems and with those non-conformal geometries by using the Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method. The conventional time domain technique FDTD demands extensive computational resources when solving low frequency problems, or when dealing with dispersive media. The νFDTD technique is a...
متن کاملNondiagonally anisotropic PML: A generalized unsplit wide-angle absorber for the treatment of the near-grazing effect in FDTD meshes
A new generalization of the PML with wide-angle absorption is presented, for the efficient truncation of FDTD lattices. The proposed unsplit-field layer uses a nondiagonal symmetric tensor anisotropy and via an appropriate parameter selection achieves notable attenuation rates in the case of near-grazing angles. Hence, it can be placed much closer to large structures. Improved accuracy and lowe...

متن کاملComparison of Cartesian grid configurations for application of the finite-difference time-domain method to electromagnetic scattering by dielectric particles.
Two grid configurations can be employed to implement the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) technique in a Cartesian system. One configuration defines the electric and magnetic field components at the cell edges and cell-face centers, respectively, whereas the other reverses these definitions. These two grid configurations differ in terms of implication on the electromagnetic boundary conditi...
متن کاملSimulating Flow over Periodic Hills Using a Dual-Mesh Hybrid Solver with High-Order LES
In this work, we present a hybrid solver coupling a high-order LES solver with Cartesian mesh and a RANS solver with body-fitting mesh. This hybrid solver is developed within a dual-mesh consistent hybrid framework, where LES and RANS simulations for the same flow are conducted simultaneously on different computational domains and different meshes. In the LES, an immersed boundary method with r...
