Interior Penalty DGTD Method for Solving Wave Equation in Dispersive Media Described With GDM Model.

In this communication, a paralleled interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin time-domain method based on the vector wave equation (IPDG-WE) combining with a generalized dispersive material (GDM) model is introduced. In addition, the auxiliary differential equation (ADE) technique is employed to establish a universal solution for scattering analysis of dispersive structures in a wide frequency range. The proposed method presents great characteristics of energy conservation and the optimal convergence rate even in low-order bases and exhibits promising competitiveness in CPU time and memory usage compared with the traditional Maxwell’s equations-based discontinuous Galerkin time-domain (DGTD-ME) method. Numerical simulations are executed to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method, which realize twice the memory and triple the CPU time reductions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
