Explicit hybrid time domain solver for the Maxwell equations in 3D (Q5942832)

Maxwell equations in the time domain are studied. An accurate and efficient explicit hybrid solver for such equations is developed. It is based on Finite Difference-Time Domain methods. For time discretization a third order staggered Adams-Bashforth scheme is used. A spatial filter of Laplace type enables long simulations. Preservation of divergence, furthermore stability, hybridization, and scattering from a sphere are discussed.
