2. 1. Modified Stencils for Boundaries and Subgrid Scales in the Finite-Difference Time-Domain Method

   Author : Jon Häggblad; Björn Engquist; Olof Runborg; Björn Sjögreen; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; FDTD; Yee; Staircasing;

   Abstract : This thesis centers on modified stencils for the Finite-Difference Time-Domain method (FDTD), or Yee scheme, when modelling curved boundaries, obstacles and holes smaller than the discretization length.  The goal is to increase the accuracy while keeping the structure of the standard method, enabling improvements to existing implementations with minimal effort.

4. 2. Hybrid Solvers for the Maxwell Equations in Time-Domain

   Author : Fredrik Edelvik; Per Lötstedt; Jan Hesthaven; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Maxwell s equations; time-domain; finite volume methods; finite element methods; hybrid solver; dispersive materials; thin wires; Beräkningsvetenskap; Scientific Computing;

   Abstract : The most commonly used method for the time-domain Maxwell equations is the Finite-Difference Time-Domain method (FDTD). This is an explicit, second-order accurate method, which is used on a staggered Cartesian grid. The main drawback with the FDTD method is its inability to accurately model curved objects and small geometrical features. READ MORE
