To simulate the EM wave propagation over ocean with FDTD, large memory and large computational quantity is needed. To reduce the memory usage, moving-window FDTD (MW-FDTD) is involved. By moving the calculation window which includes most energy of the EM wave, the necessary memory is much less than traditional FDTD method. To increase the simulation speed, an AMD R7 260X GPU is used and OpenCL is used as the GPU programming interface.The simulation acceleration ratio can be over 10 while the simulation code of a 4-core CPU is compiled with OpenMP.The FFT method is used to model oceans specified with a certain wind speed and a wind direction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
