General and complete 2D TLM curvilinear node

Abstract

A new general and complete TLM 2-D curvilinear node has been developed in this paper. Also, the performance and the accuracy of this new node have been demonstrated confirmed in two particular curvilinear 2-D nodes: the cylindrical and the elliptic. In addition, we have shown that the use of “average's parameters values” in the algorithm gives accurate results and efficient simulation. This remark facilitates the use of other particular curvilinear meshes. This allows the extension of this node into a similar 3-D curvilinear node.
