Keywords:
volume-surface integral equation, electromagnetic scattering, overlapped domain decomposition method, multilevel fast multipole algorithmAbstract
The hybrid volume-surface integral equation (VSIE) method has the advantage of solving electromagnetic scattering problems involving complex structure mixed metal with dielectric. In this paper, a method combining VSIE with overlapped domain decomposition method (ODDM) is used to analyze electromagnetic scattering problems successfully. To further improve efficiency, the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA) is adopted, then a novel VSIE-ODDM-MLFMA is proposed. Numerical results show that the proposed method has low memory requirement, fast convergence, and accurate simulation result. It indicates that the proposed method has the ability to analyze complicated electromagnetic problems.
