Adaptive Hybrid Finite Element/difference Method for Maxwell’s Equations
نویسندگان
چکیده
An explicit, adaptive, hybrid finite element/finite difference method is proposed for the numerical solution of Maxwell’s equations in the time domain. The method is hybrid in the sense that different numerical methods, finite elements and finite differences, are used in different parts of the computational domain. Thus, we combine the flexibility of finite elements with the efficiency of finite differences. Furthermore, an a posteriori error estimate is derived for local adaptivity and error control inside the subregion, where finite elements are used. Numerical experiments illustrate the usefulness of computational adaptive error control of proposed new method.

In this paper, we develop a leap-frog mixed finite element method for solving Maxwell’s equations resulting from metamaterials. Our scheme is similar to the popular Yee’s FDTD scheme used in electrical engineering community, and is preferable for three dimensional large scale modeling since no storage of the large coefficient matrix is needed. Our scheme is proved to obey the Gauss’s law automa...

We consider a time-dependent problem of scattering by an obstacle involving the solution of the two dimensional Maxwell’s equations in the exterior of a domain with a perfectly conducting condition on the boundary of this domain. We propose a novel fictitious domain method based on a distributed Lagrange multiplier technique for the solution of this problem. Perfectly matched layers are constru...
