The finite-volume time-domain algorithm using least square method in solving Maxwell's equations (Q2458572)

A finite-volume time-domain algorithm using the least-square method with a well-posed perfectly matched layer is developed in this paper to model electromagnetic scattering by 2D arbitrarily curved objects. Considering computational efficiency and geometric flexibility, the unstructured grids are emplyed in this algorithm. The Runge-Kutta explicit scheme is employed to solve the semidiscrete Maxwell's equations. Several numerical examples confirm the capability and accuracy of the algorithm.
