Four dimensional domain decomposition method in microwave simulation by initial value formulation of Time Domain BEM

Abstract

Author has been working in development of the Time Domain Boundary Element Method (TDBEM) for transient analysis of electromagnetic microwave phenomena. The main target application of the TDBEM was particle accelerator wake field analysis, and then assumptions of zero initial value and perfect electric conductor boundary were used. This paper presents a more general formulation of the TDBEM, an initial value problem formulation for the TDBEM. In addition, a four dimensional domain decomposition method in time domain simulation is also introduced as an application of the initial value formulation of the TDBEM.
