چکیده

This study is concerned with the solution of the time domain Maxwell’s equations in a dispersive propagation media by a Discontinuous Galerkin Time Domain (DGTD) method. The Debye model is used to describe the dispersive behaviour of the media. The resulting system of equations is solved using a centered flux discontinuous Galerkin formulation for the discretization in space and a second order leap-frog scheme for the integration in time. The numerical treatment of the dispersive model relies on an Auxiliary Differential Equation (ADE) approach similary to what is adopted in the Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method. Stability estimates are derived through energy estimations and the convergence is proved for both the semi-discrete and the fully discrete case. Key-words: Maxwell’s equations, time domain, dispersive medium, discontinuous Galerkin method, convergence analysis. in ria -0 05 97 37 4, v er si on 1 31 M ay 2 01 1 Convergence d’un schéma Galerkin Discontinu pour les équations de Maxwell en formulation mixte et temporelle en milieu dispersif Résumé : On s’intéresse à la résolution numérique des équations de Maxwell en domaine temporel en milieu dispersif par une méthode Galerkin discontinue. Le caractère dispersif est ici pris en compte par le modèle de Debye. La méthode de résolution étudiée couple une formulation Galerkin discontinue à flux centré pour la discrétisation en espace et un schéma saute mouton du second ordre pour l’intégration en temps. Le traitement numérique du modèle dispersif repose sur une approche par équation différentielle auxiliaire à l’image de ce qui est réalisé dans la méthode de différences finies en domaine temporel. On étudie la stabilité du schéma résultant via des estimations d’énergie et prouvons la convergence des schémas semi-discrets et totalement discrets. Mots-clés : Equations de Maxwell, domaine temporel, milieu dispersif, méthode Galerkin Discontinue, analyse de convergence. in ria -0 05 97 37 4, v er si on 1 31 M ay 2 01 1 Convergence of a DGTD method for Maxwell’s equations in dispersive media 3

High-order DGTDmethods for dispersive Maxwell’s equations and modelling of silver nanowire coupling

A high-order discontinuous Galerkin time-domain (DGTD) method for Maxwell’s equations for dispersive media of Drude type is derived and then used to study the coupling of 2D silver nanowires, which have potential applications in optical circuits without the restriction of diffraction limits of traditional dielectric waveguides. We have demonstrated the high accuracy of the DGTD for the electrom...

Temporal convergence analysis of a locally implicit discontinuous Galerkin time domain method for electromagnetic wave propagation in dispersive media

This paper is concerned with the approximation of the time domain Maxwell equations in a dispersive propagation medium by a Discontinuous Galerkin Time Domain (DGTD) method. The Debye model is used to describe the dispersive behaviour of the medium. We adapt the locally implicit time integration method from [1] and derive a convergence analysis to prove that the locally implicit DGTD method for...

In this paper, we will present a unified formulation of discontinuous Galerkin method (DGM) for Maxwell’s equations in linear dispersive and lossy materials of Debye type and in the artificial perfectly matched layer (PML) regions. An auxiliary differential equation (ADE) method is used to handle the frequency-dependent constitutive relations with the help of auxiliary polarization currents in ...
