Computational Electromagnetics
Abstract
The overall work in the proposed areas for the duration of this effort, through November 2010, is detailed in what follows. In particular, our efforts gave rise to 1) Volumetric propagation and scattering solvers for propagation through thousand of kilometers of realistic three-dimensional atmospheres (completed in 2009); 2) Development of high-order solvers, which do not suffer from restrictive CFL conditions, for solution of time-dependent wave-propagation problems in inhomogeneous media; 3) Electromagnetic integral solvers for open surfaces in three dimensions, with applicability to design of reflectarray antennas and negative-index materials; 4) Fast, high-order solvers for wire antenna problems; and 5) Solvers for general PDE problems which, not based on use of either finite elements or finite differences use the continuation method instead, and have been shown to lead to unconditionally stable numerics for a wide range of realistic PDE problems.
