Equations applicable to finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) computation of infrasound propagation through an absorbing atmosphere are derived and examined in this paper. It is shown that over altitudes up to 160 km, and at frequencies relevant to global infrasound propagation, i.e., 0.02-5 Hz, the acoustic absorption in dB/m varies approximately as the square of the propagation frequency plus ...

In this paper, an approach is proposed to improve the numerical precision at the sound field simulation by the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. The FDTD method is a numerical solution for the wave equation, proposed by R. Courant. Although it has achieved to simulate wave propagation by numerical solution for the wave equation, it causes numerical dispersions due to their approximat...

This paper presents an efficient approach to implement electromagnetic-thermal (EM-T) co-simulation of a planar monopole antenna based on hybrid implicit-explicit finite-difference time-domain method (HIE-FDTD-M). First, the EM simulation is carried out by solving Maxwell’s curl equation. Once field reaches steady state, power loss computed according electric conductivity material. Finally, the...

The trend of microwave circuits has been toward highly integrated systems. Most design tools for designing microwave circuits mounted the linear or the nonlinear devices adopt the fundamental circuit theory using the S matrix on the frequency domain. The harmonic balance method is also used to correspond to the nonlinear circuit. Therefore, the effect of the electromagnetic field, for example, ...

The nite-diierence time-domain (FDTD) method is a numerical technique that makes no explicit physical approximations to the underlying problem. The quality of an FDTD-based solution typically is determined by the discretization of the computational domain|the smaller the spacing, the more accurate the solution. Unfortunately, for large computational domains, i.e., ones spanning many wavelengths...

We have examined the Maxwell-Garnett, inverted Maxwell-Garnett, and Bruggeman rules for evaluation of the mean permittivity involving partially empty cells at particle surface in conjunction with the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) computation. Sensitivity studies show that the inverted Maxwell-Garnett rule is the most effective in reducing the staircasing effect. The discontinuity of perm...

The conventional time domain technique FDTD demands extensive computational resources when solving low frequency problems, or when dealing with dispersive media. The νFDTD technique is a...

Understanding and predicting electromagnetic behavior is needed more and more in modern technology. The Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method is a powerful computational electromagnetic technique for modelling electromagnetic space.
