Electromagnetic model decomposition and iterative solvers applied to surface and volume double higher order numerical methods
Abstract: Higher order methods have been established in the numerical analysis of electromagnetic structures decreasing the number of unknowns compared to the low order discretization. In order to decrease memory requirements even further, model decomposition in the computational analysis of electrically large structures has been used. The technique is based on element grouping and is often implemented in conjunction with iterative solvers. This proposal addresses unique theoretical and implementation details specific to model decomposition of the structures discretized by the double higher order analyzed by i) Finite Element Method – Mode Matching technique for closed-region (waveguide) structures and ii) Surface Integral Equation Method of Moments (SIE-MoM) in combination with (Multi-Level) Fast Multipole Method for open-region bodies. To increase accuracy of the SIE-MoM computation, novel method for numerical evaluation of the 2-D surface integrals in MoM matrix entries has been developed. To demonstrate its efficiency and practicality, SIE-MoM technique was applied to analysis of the rain event containing significant percentage of the oscillating drops recorded by 2D video disdrometer. An excellent agreement with previously-obtained radar measurements has been established. The research plan layout and timeline are presented.
