Modern methods for transient electromagnetic fields simulation

Autors: 
Grigoriev Andrei Dmitrievich, Sankt-Peterburg Electrotechnical University "LETI"
Abstract: 

Modern methods and algorithms for numerical simulation of transient electromagnetic fields are described. Main attention is paid ю the Finite Difference Time Domain method. Basic equations of the method, algorithms of media properties implementation, such as nonhomogeneity, anisotropy, dispersion, non linearity are discussed. Methods of initial and boundary conditions approximation, sources of excitation determining, computational region truncating in case of solving outer boundary electrodynamic problems, algorithms of circuit parameters evaluation from the results of simulation are also presented.
