Implementation of an Approximate Conformal UPML in 2-D DGTD

الملخص EN

Using the numerical discrete technique with unstructured grids, conformal perfectly matched layer (PML) absorbing boundary in the discontinuous Galerkin time-domain (DGTD) can be set flexibly so as to save lots of computing resources.

Based on the DGTD equations in an orthogonal curvilinear coordinate system, the processes of parameter transformation for 2-D UPML between the coordinate systems of elliptical and Cartesian are given; and the expressions of transition matrix are derived.

The calculation scheme of conductivity distribution in elliptic cylinder absorbing layer is given, and the calculation coefficient of DGTD in elliptic UPML is calculated.

Furthermore, the 2-D iterative formulas of DGTD and that of auxiliary equation in the elliptical cylinder UPML are derived; the conformal UPML calculation in DGTD is realized.

Numerical results show that very good accuracy and computational efficiency are achieved by using the method in this paper.

Compared to the rectangular computational region, both the memory and computation time of conformal UPML absorbing boundary are reduced by more than 20%.
