Towards High Resolution Numerical Algorithms for Wave Dominated Physical Phenomena.

摘要

During this project several new numerical algorithms were designed, analyzed, and implemented with the goal of accelerating computational experiments in time-domain electromagnetics and acoustics. Novel results include a new family of radiation boundary conditions used for truncating computational domains used in external scattering simulations. A new filter and also local time stepping method were created for stabilizing coarse temporal approximations for discontinuous Galerkin time-domain computations. In additional work a new tiling algorithm was developed allowing large numbers of polyomino tiles to be arranged to cover a two dimensional shape without leaving gaps. This abstract algorithm has application in the design of passive array antenna to minimize side-lobe radiation.
