However, since the RWG basis functions impose the normal-current continuity across adjacent triangles arising in the surface mesh, the RWG-based implementations are only valid for conformal triangulations. In this paper, we introduce a nonconforming PMCHWT domain decomposition method for the scattering analysis of penetrable structures which is valid for conformal and nonconformal meshes. This scheme does not require the definition of artificial enclosing surfaces and auxiliary currents in the process of tearing the original domain. The transition of the electric and magnetic currents across adjacent sub-domains is imposed with the facet-based monopolar-RWG set together with a volumetric testing scheme over the tearing contour. The proposed method allows for the construction of an effective block-diagonal preconditioner for large and multi-scale problems.","PeriodicalId":173287,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Workshop on Computing, Electromagnetics, and Machine Intelligence (CEMi)","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128633809","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, the boundary conditions at the interfaces of the stratified anisotropic medium are employed to determine the complex amplitudes of the scattered fields in spectral domain, which involve a complicated coupling of type I and type II waves existing in uniaxial electric anisotropic medium. Then the scattering from the infinite coated substrate is asymptotically calculated by using the proposed spectral domain method combined with saddle point evaluation. Thereafter, the asymptotic solution is applied to derive the physical optics currents on the surface of the target. Ultimately, comparisons of the proposed asymptotic solution with the reference solutions calculated numerically confirm the validity and efficiency of the proposed solution. Employing the asymptotic solution, the evaluation of the scattering from an electrically large target coated with uniaxial electric anisotropic multi-layered media is realized.","PeriodicalId":173287,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Workshop on Computing, Electromagnetics, and Machine Intelligence (CEMi)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124016648","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
