Theoretical and numerical analysis of local dispersion models coupled to a discontinuous Galerkin time-domain method for Maxwell's equations

چکیده
This report focuses on a centered-fluxes discontinuous Galerkin method coupled to a second-order Leap-Frog time scheme for the propagation of electromagnetic waves in dispersive media. After a presentation of the physical phenomenon and the classical dispersion models (particularly the Drude one), a generalized dispersive model is introduced. An a priori stability and convergence study is lead for the Drude model, as well as in the generalized dispersive case. Eventually, numerical results are presented for various test-cases, highlighting the interest of a proper description of the dispersion phenomenon in metals at the nanoscale.

Après une présentation du phénomène physique ainsi que des modèles de dispersion les plus classiques (notamment celui de Drude), un modèle de dispersion généralisé est introduit. Une étude de stabilité et de convergence a priori est conduite dans le cas du modèle de Drude, ainsi que dans le cas généralisé. Enfin, des résultats numériques sont présentés pour différents cas-tests, mettant en lumière l’intérêt d’une bonne description des phénomènes de dispersion des métaux à l’échelle nanoscopique.

Three dimensional static and dynamic analysis of thick plates by the meshless local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) method under different loading conditions
In this paper, three dimensional (3D) static and dynamic analysis of thick plates based on the Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) is presented. Using the kinematics of a three-dimensional continuum, the local weak form of the equilibrium equations is derived. A weak formulation for the set of governing equations is transformed into local integral equations on local sub-domains by using a uni...
متن کاملA Discontinuous Galerkin Method for the Time-Domain Solution of 3D Maxwell's Equations on Non-Conforming Locally Refined Grids
A discontinuous Galerkin method is proposed for the numerical solution of the three-dimensional time-domain Maxwell's equations. A leap frog scheme is used for advancing in time. The scheme resulting can handle highly heterogeneous material, non diffusive and highly adaptable (it has been implemented on tetrahedral or hexahedral grids, including non-conforming). In some cases, some divergence c...

متن کاملOptimal non-dissipative discontinuous Galerkin methods for Maxwell's equations in Drude metamaterials
Abstract. Simulation of electromagnetic wave propagation in metamaterials leads to more complicated time domain Maxwell’s equations than the standard Maxwell’s equations in free space. In this paper, we develop and analyze a non-dissipative discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method for solving the Maxwell’s equations in Drude metamaterials. Previous discontinuous Galerkin methods in the literature for...
متن کاملHigh-Order Numerical Methods for Maxwell's Equations on Unstructured Meshes
For more than fifteen years, spectral finite elements (i.e. finite element methods on hexahedral meshes with mass-lumping) showed their efficiency to model the propagation of acoustic and elastic waves in the time domain, in particular in terms of accuracy. Moreover, their mixed formulation [1] dramatically increases their efficiency in terms of storage and computational time. This approach, wh...
