The Floating PML Applied to Practical FDTD ApplicationsAbstract
In this paper we present the Floating
Perfectly Matched Layer (Floating PML) where a
“floating” PML is implemented within the solution
space without making contact with the main PML
walls. The Floating PML can be used as a terminating
technique within the solution space of the Finite
Difference Time Domain (FDTD) Method. The
formulation of the Floating PML is based on an
optimized implementation of the Convolutional PML
(CPML), which is discussed briefly in the Appendix. In
this paper we present benchmark validation tests,
applications using the Floating PML, as well as some
advantages and disadvantages of this method
