A new approach to the solution of Maxwell's equations for low frequency and high-resolution biomedical problems

چکیده
High spatial resolution studies of the interaction of the human body with electromagnetic waves of low frequency presents a difficult computational problem. As these studies typically require at least 104 points per wavelength, a huge number of time steps would be needed to be able to use the finite difference time domain method (fdtd). In this paper, a new technique is described, which allows the fdtd method to be efficiently applied over a very large frequency range, including low frequencies. In the method, no alterations to the properties of either the source or the transmission media are required. The method is essentially frequency independent and has been verified against analytical solutions within the ∗Centre for Magnetic Resonance, The University of Queensland, St. Lucia, Brisbane, Queensland 4072, Australia. mailto:[email protected] See http://anziamj.austms.org.au/V44/CTAC2001/Zhao for this article, c © Austral.

ON MAXWELL'S STRESS FUNCTIONS FOR SOLVING THREE DIMENSIONAL ELASTICITY PROBLEMS IN THE THEORY OF ELASTICITY
The governing equations of three dimensional elasticity problems include the six Beltrami-Michell stress compatibility equations, the three differential equations of equilibrium, and the six material constitutive relations; and these are usually solved subject to the boundary conditions. The system of fifteen differential equations is usually difficult to solve, and simplified methods are usual...
متن کاملA New Approach for Solving Heat and Mass Transfer Equations of Viscoelastic Nanofluids using Artificial Optimization Method
The behavior of many types of fluids can be simulated using differential equations. There are many approaches to solve differential equations, including analytical and numerical methods. However, solving an ill-posed high-order differential equation is still a major challenge. Generally, the governing differential equations of a viscoelastic nanofluid are ill-posed; hence, their solution is a c...
متن کاملProposing New Methods to Enhance the Low-Resolution Simulated GPR Responses in the Frequency and Wavelet Domains
To date, a number of numerical methods, including the popular Finite-Difference Time Domain (FDTD) technique, have been proposed to simulate Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR) responses. Despite having a number of advantages, the finite-difference method also has pitfalls such as being very time consuming in simulating the most common case of media with high dielectric permittivity, causing the for...
