Conformal PML-FDTD Schemes for Electromagnetic Field Simulations: A Dynamic Stability Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a study on the dynamic stability of the perfectly matched layer (PML) absorbing boundary condition for finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations of electromagnetic radiation and scattering problems in body-conformal orthogonal grids. This work extends a previous dynamic stability analysis of Cartesian, cylindrical and spherical PMLs to the case of a conformal PML. It is shown that the conformal PML defined over surface terminations with positive local radii of curvature (concave surfaces as viewed from inside the computational domain) is dynamically stable, while the conformal PML defined over surface terminations with a negative local radius (convex surfaces as viewed from inside the computational domain) is dynamically unstable. Numerical results illustrate the analysis.

Finite-difference computation of transient electromagnetic waves for cylindrical geometries in complex media
We present two novel, fully three-dimensional (3-D) finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) schemes in cylindrical coordinates for transient simulation of electromagnetic wave propagation in complex (inhomogeneous, dispersive, and conductive) and unbounded media. The proposed FDTD schemes incorporate an extension of the perfectly matched layer (PML) absorbing boundary condition (ABC) to three-dime...

We investigate the spectral properties of the Cartesian, cylindrical, and spherical perfect matched layer (PML) absorbing boundary conditions. In the case of the anisotropicmedium PML formulation, we analyze the analytical properties of the constitutive PML tensors on the complex !-plane. In the case of the complex-space PML formulation (complex coordinate stretching formulation), we analyze th...

Radiation from monopole antennas on spherical-lossy earth is analyzed by the finitedifference time-domain (FDTD) method in spherical coordinates. A novel generalized perfectly matched layer (PML) has been developed for the truncation of the lossy soil. For having an accurate modeling with less memory requirements, an efficient "non-uniform" mesh generation scheme is used. Also in each time step...

Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) subgridding schemes can significantly improve efficiency of various electromagnetic circuit simulations. However, numerous subgridding schemes suffer from issues associated with stability, efficiency, and material traverse capability. These issues limit general applicability of FDTD subgridding schemes to realistic problems. Herein, a robust nonuniform subgr...
متن کاملUnified perfectly matched layer for finite-difference time-domain modeling of dispersive optical materials.
Finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations of any electromagnetic problem require truncation of an often-unbounded physical region by an electromagnetically bounded region by deploying an artificial construct known as the perfectly matched layer (PML). As it is not possible to construct a universal PML that is non-reflective for different materials, PMLs that are tailored to a specific pr...
