On the application of the spectral element method in electromagnetic problems involving domain decomposition

Abstract

Abstract:One of the challenges in electromagnetics is to solve electromagnetic fields originated from a radiating source or a scattering object in distances that largely exceed the dimensions of the source or scatterer. In this paper, domain decomposition based on the application reasoning of the perfectly matched layer (PML) is studied by the spectral element method (SEM) for the first time in order to solve near and far electromagnetic fields without requiring substantially computational resources. Scattering from a loss-free dielectric cylinder and radiated fields from a line source are the problems utilized for the purpose of numerical demonstration in two dimensions in order to verify the successful application of SEM and its accuracy under domain decomposition. It is demonstrated that it is possible to accurately solve for near-field and far-field zones where millions of unknowns are encountered by using a typical personal computer.

“…Several studies have highlighted the applications and accuracy of the spectral method. More details, regarding this approach, are extensively reported in [34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41]. Other techniques maybe employed for such analysis as well (see [42][43][44][45][46][47][48]).…”

Φ-Haar Wavelet Operational Matrix Method for Fractional Relaxation-Oscillation Equations ContainingΦ-Caputo Fractional Derivative

“…Since the majority of fractional differential equations do not have analytical solutions, we must use an approximate method. Many studies have analyzed solution techniques for fractional differential equation such as the collocation method, Adomian decomposition method, varia-tional iteration method, tau method, and operational matrix method [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12].…”

On the Eddy Current Losses in Metallic Towers

“…Meanwhile, the effect of the tower configurations along the insulator was investigated in Zhao et al (2000). The application of finite difference method is not unique, i.e., other numerical methods such as spectral element method can also be utilized due to its high accuracy (Mahariq et al 2017, Mahariq 2017,…”

“…Open boundary problems can be solved by picking an arbitrary boundary far enough from the area of interest so that either ( = 0) for Dirichlet boundary condition, or n. A Ñ for Neumann boundary condition (Mahariq 2017).…”
