A Review of Perfectly Matched Absorbers for the Finite-Volume Time-Domain Method
Keywords:
A Review of Perfectly Matched Absorbers for the Finite-Volume Time-Domain MethodAbstract
Different implementations of planar per-
fectly matched absorbers are studied under the unified
framework of the Finite-Volume Time-Domain (FVTD)
method. This comparative analysis allows to discuss the
similarities existing between the theoretical models and
explores the differences in their practical implementation
and numerical performance in the framework of the
FVTD method. Numerical experiments for performance
analysis of the different PML models are conducted
in terms of discretization and angle of incidence using
waveguide models. The results are compared to theoreti-
cally expected values and to the first-order Silver M ̈uller
absorbing boundary condition.
