Subcell Treatment of Sloped Interfaces between Debye Materials in the FDTD Method
Journal of Amasya University the Institute of Sciences and Technology, 2020 This paper presents the application of the subcell technique for the treatment of sloped interface in finite-difference time-domain method. The technique is based on the averaging of permittivities in each cell crossed by the material interface.

FDTD Analysis of Electromagnetic Wave Propagation in an Inhomogeneous Ionosphere under Arbitrary-Direction Geomagnetic Field [PDF]
Journal of the Korean Institute of Electromagnetic Engineering and Science, 2018 The finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) model was developed to analyze electromagnetic (EM) wave propagation in an inhomogeneous ionosphere. The EM analysis of ionosphere is complicated, owing to various propagation environments that are significantly ...

Application of finite-difference time domain and dynamic differential evolution for inverse scattering of a two-dimensional perfectly conducting cylinder in slab medium [PDF]
[[abstract]]We apply the dynamic differential evolution (DDE) algorithm to solve the inverse scattering problem for which a two-dimensional perfectly conducting cylinder with unknown cross section is buried in a dielectric slab medium.

Finite-difference time-domain simulation of spacetime cloak
Optics Express, 2014 In this work, we present a numerical method that remedies the instabilities of the conventional FDTD approach for solving Maxwell's equations in a space-time dependent magneto-electric medium with direct application to the simulation of the recently proposed spacetime cloak.

Finite-difference time-domain modelling of photonic crystal structures [PDF]
Proceedings of 2001 3rd International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks (IEEE Cat. No.01EX488), 2002 The usual, highly efficient, modelling tools for planar optical devices are generally not suitable for modelling photonic crystal structures. For example, the beam propagation method fails when applied to these strongly scattering structures since presumptions are made on the propagation direction of the waves. The finite-difference time-domain method (

Finite-difference time-domain simulation of partial discharges in a gas insulated switchgear
High Voltage, 2016 It is important to estimate the current magnitude and charge amount of a partial discharge (PD) in a gas-insulated switchgear (GIS). In this study, electromagnetic fields generated by a PD in an 84 kV-class three-phase GIS for testing have been measured ...

A multi-domain hybrid method for head-on collision of black holes in particle limit
, 2011 A hybrid method is developed based on the spectral and finite-difference methods for solving the inhomogeneous Zerilli equation in time-domain. The developed hybrid method decomposes the domain into the spectral and finite-difference domains.

A novel high accuracy finite-difference time-domain method
Earth, Planets and SpaceThe finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method is widely used for numerical simulations of electromagnetic waves and acoustic waves. It is known, however, that the Courant condition is restricted in higher dimensions and with higher order differences in
