Electromagnetic Scattering From A Cavity In A Ground Plane: Theory And Experiment, William D. Wood Jr. Mar 1997

Electromagnetic Scattering From A Cavity In A Ground Plane: Theory And Experiment, William D. Wood Jr.

Theses and Dissertations

The electromagnetic scattering from an arbitrarily shaped open cavity embedded in a perfectly conducting, infinite ground plane is examined. The cavity is filled with a linear, isotropic, homogeneous material. The fields in the cavity interior and above the ground plane are expressed in terms of the tangential fields on the cavity surface and aperture. A coupled set of three integral equations is developed governing the tangential fields on the aperture and cavity surface. The support of the unknown tangential fields is finite. A moment-method based algorithm to approximate the solution to the integral equations for axisymmetric geometries is developed. The …


Advances In Time-Domain Electromagnetic Simulation Capabilities Through The Use Of Overset Grids And Massively Parallel Computing, Douglas C. Blake Mar 1997

Advances In Time-Domain Electromagnetic Simulation Capabilities Through The Use Of Overset Grids And Massively Parallel Computing, Douglas C. Blake

Theses and Dissertations

A new methodology is presented for conducting numerical simulations of electromagnetic scattering and wave propagation phenomena. Technologies from several scientific disciplines, including computational fluid dynamics, computational electromagnetics, and parallel computing, are uniquely combined to form a simulation capability that is both versatile and practical. In the process of creating this capability, work is accomplished to conduct the first study designed to quantify the effects of domain decomposition on the performance of a class of explicit hyperbolic partial differential equations solvers; to develop a new method of partitioning computational domains comprised of overset grids; and to provide the first detailed assessment …
