Abstract
A 3D-CAD-based sparse conformal mesh generation (SC-MG) method is proposed to distinguish between conformal and nonconformal cells and calculate the volume fraction of perfectly matched object boundaries. A sparse conformal finite difference time domain (SC-FDTD) method specifically adapted to the SC-MG approach is also developed, which uses sparse storage to reduce the spatial redundancy of the FDTD iterative coefficients. The SC-MG method with lower time complexity is demonstrated to effectively resolve the distortion and loss of surface of the marching cubes-based method. The SC-FDTD has been shown to combine the benefits of low spatial redundancy of the staircase FDTD with the high accuracy characteristic of the conformal FDTD.
期刊介绍:
IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters (AWP Letters) is devoted to the rapid electronic publication of short manuscripts in the technical areas of Antennas and Wireless Propagation. These are areas of competence for the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S). AWPL aims to be one of the "fastest" journals among IEEE publications. This means that for papers that are eventually accepted, it is intended that an author may expect his or her paper to appear in IEEE Xplore, on average, around two months after submission.
