Computational electromagnetics

Abstract

The progress during the past forty years of computational electromagnetics in the time domain is summarized. Contributions from the computational fluid dynamic community to this scientific discipline are highlighted. The impact of characteristics-based formulations, high-resolution algorithm development, and concurrent computational techniques has alleviated two fundamental limitations in computational electromagnetics. This knowledge sharing has opened new avenues for basic research and practical applications for electrical engineering and interdisciplinary computational physics. © 2009 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
