Frequency domain vs. time domain finite element methods for calculation of fields in multimode cavities

Mathematical modeling of continuous flow microwave heating of liquids (effects of dielectric properties and design parameters)

“…In the past, a number of studies [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] have been documented that dealt with numerical modeling of microwave heating process in a cavity. Generally, prediction of microwave energy deposition requires the solution of Maxwell's equations, which determines the electromagnetic field in the microwave cavity and waveguide.…”

Electromagnetic basis of microwave heating

“…For example, Dibben and Metaxas (1996) and Pathak et al (2003) used an infrared thermal camera to capture the temperature distribution inside a loaded cavity. An arbitrary shaped load results in a field distribution that is more complex than a geometrically simple load.…”

Electric Charge Gaussian Gradation Method (ECGGM): A technique for improving material interface representations for the radial point interpolation method

“…Computer simulations of problems in electrodynamics are performed by using numerical methods, which are based on discrete versions of Maxwell's equations. Among these methods, we can emphasize techniques based on finite‐difference time‐domain (FDTD),() finite element (FEM),() and, more recently, on meshless methods. The meshless techniques, such as the radial point interpolation method (RPIM), have been increasingly used in applications related to electromagnetic problems() not only because of the absence of predefined meshes and their intrinsic relatively simple mathematical formulations but also because of the high degree of geometrical compliance offered by such methods for representing nonrectangular objects.…”
