Efficient Enhanced Hybrid Implicit-Explicit Procedure to Gyrotropic Plasma in Open Regions With Fine Geometry Details Along Single Direction

Abstract

For the simulation of gyrotropic plasma structure with fine geometry details along a single direction in open regions, the hybrid implicit-explicit (HIE) algorithm with improved absorbing boundary condition is modified based on the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) algorithm. More precisely, incorporating the perfectly matched layer (PML) formulation, the higher order concept and the HIE procedure, the proposed implementation shows its significant superiority in terms of efficiency, accuracy and absorption. To simulate the unique anisotropic characteristic inside the gyrotropic plasma regions, the bilinear transform (BT) method is employed during the calculation. The effectiveness can be further demonstrated theoretically and numerically. Through the results, it can be concluded that the proposed scheme exhibits remarkable behaviors in the gyrotropic plasma open region problems. It can not only obtain considerable accuracy compared with the theoretical solution but also receive better absorption and efficiency compared with the published work. In addition, the results also indicate that the proposed scheme can maintain the stability of the algorithm with dissatisfaction of the Courant-Friedrichs-Levy condition between time step and mesh size.INDEX TERMS Anisotropic gyrotropic plasma, Bilinear transform (BT), Finite-difference time-domain (FDTD), Hybrid implicit-explicit (HIE), Perfectly matched layer (PML).

An Asymmetrical Mixed Higher-Order Discontinuous Galerkin Time Domain Method for Electromagnetic Scattering from the Plasma Sheath around a Hypersonic Vehicle

“…In [14], the high-order FDTD method was used to simulate the RCS (radar cross section) from the plasma fow in a shock tube. To increase the computational efciency, Chen and Wang et al used the hybrid-implicit-explicit (HIE)-FDTD method [15,16] to simulate the gyrotropic plasma in open regions [17]. Chen and Wang proposed to apply the weakly conditionally stable (WCS)-FDTD method [18] to simulate the plasma frequency selective surface [19].…”

Narrow-Bandpass One-Step Leapfrog Hybrid Implicit-Explicit Algorithm with Convolutional Boundary Condition for Its Applications in Sensors

“…The formulation for dielectric material still needs to be investigated. From another aspect, all of the existing absorbing boundary conditions for the HIE procedure and leapfrog scheme are based on the NPML and CFS-PML formulation [35][36][37][38][39]. These algorithms must be modified according to the different computational domains due to the media-dependent formulation.…”
