In this article, the alternating direction implicit finite-difference time domain (ADI-FDTD) method for a two-dimensional TE wave is extended to a full three-dimensional (3D) wave.
Abstract
We previously introduced the alternating direction implicit finite-difference time domain (ADI-FDTD) method for a two-dimensional TE wave. We analytically and numerically verified that the algorithm of the method is unconditionally stable and free from the Courant-Friedrich-Levy condition restraint. In this paper, we extend this approach to a full three-dimensional (3-D) wave. Numerical formulations of the 3-D ADI-FDTD method are presented and simulation results are compared to those using the conventional 3-D finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. We numerically verify that the 3-D ADI-FDTD method is also unconditionally stable and it is more efficient than the conventional 3-D FDTD method in terms of the central processing unit time if the size of the local minimum cell in the computational domain is much smaller than the other cells and the wavelength.

Numerical solution of initial boundary value problems involving maxwell's equations in isotropic media

Abstract: Maxwell's equations are replaced by a set of finite difference equations. It is shown that if one chooses the field points appropriately, the set of finite difference equations is applicable for a boundary condition involving perfectly conducting surfaces. An example is given of the scattering of an electromagnetic pulse by a perfectly conducting cylinder.
