Dispersive Divergence-Free Vector Meshless Method for Time-Domain Analysis of Frequency-Dependent Media
share
The dispersive meshless method with scalar basis function has been successfully applied for analysis of frequency dependent media. However, as scalar based meshless methods are not always divergence-free in the absence of source,inaccurate or even wrong solutions may be found in the results. To overcome this problem, in this paper, a new dispersive formulation of meshless method with vector basis function is proposed for analysis of dispersive materials. The divergence free property of this method improves the accuracy of simulation by eliminating the artificial charges generated due to the numerical analysis. Moreover, the frequency behavior of the dispersive medium is modeled using auxiliary-differential equations (ADE) method. The efficiency and divergence-free property of the proposed method are verified and compared with dispersive meshless method with scalar basis function by a numerical example.
