Perfect plane-wave source for a high-order symplectic finite-difference time-domain scheme

The method of splitting a plane-wave finite-difference time-domain （SP-FDTD） algorithm is presented for the initiation of plane-wave source in the total-field / scattered-field （TF/SF） formulation of high-order symplectic finite- difference time-domain （SFDTD） scheme for the first time. By splitting the fields on one-dimensional grid and using the nature of numerical plane-wave in finite-difference time-domain （FDTD）, the identical dispersion relation can be obtained and proved between the one-dimensional and three-dimensional grids. An efficient plane-wave source is simulated on one-dimensional grid and a perfect match can be achieved for a plane-wave propagating at any angle forming an integer grid cell ratio. Numerical simulations show that the method is valid for SFDTD and the residual field in SF region is shrinked down to -300 dB.

A spherical higher-order finite-difference time-domain algorithm with perfectly matched layer

A higher-order finite-difference time-domain（HO-FDTD） in the spherical coordinate is presented in this paper. The stability and dispersion properties of the proposed scheme are investigated and an air-filled spherical resonator is modeled in order to demonstrate the advantage of this scheme over the finite-difference time-domain（FDTD） and the multiresolution time-domain（MRTD） schemes with respect to memory requirements and CPU time. Moreover, the Berenger＇s perfectly matched layer（PML） is derived for the spherical HO-FDTD grids, and the numerical results validate the efficiency of the PML.

Finite difference time domain method forward simulation of complex geoelectricity ground penetrating radar model

The ground penetrating radar(GPR) forward simulation all aims at the singular and regular models, such as sandwich model, round cavity, square cavity, and so on, which are comparably simple. But as to the forward of curl interface underground or “v” figure complex model, it is difficult to realize. So it is important to forward the complex geoelectricity model. This paper takes two Maxwell’s vorticity equations as departure point, makes use of the principles of Yee’s space grid model theory and the basic principle finite difference time domain method, and deduces a GPR forward system of equation of two dimensional spaces. The Mur super absorbed boundary condition is adopted to solve the super strong reflection on the interceptive boundary when there is the forward simulation. And a self-made program is used to process forward simulation to two typical geoelectricity model.

Investigation of three-pulse photon echo in thick crystal using finite-difference time-domain method

This paper investigates the phenomenon of three-pulse photon echo in thick rare-earth ions doped crystal whose thickness is far larger than 0.002 cm which is adopted in previous works.The influence of thickness on the three-pulse photon echo＇s amplitude and efficiency is analyzed with the Maxwell-Bloch equations solved by finite-difference timedomain method.We demonstrate that the amplitude of three-pulse echo will increase with the increasing of thickness and the optimum thickness to generate three-pulse photon echo is 0.3 cm for Tm^（3＋）：YAG when the attenuation of the input pulse is taken into account.Meanwhile,we find the expression 0.09 exp（α＇L）,which is previously employed to describe the relationship between echo＇s efficiency and thickness,should be modified as 1.3 · 0.09 exp（2.4 ·α＇L） with the propagation of echo considered.

The finite-difference time-domain method is used to simulate the optical characteristics of an in-plane switching blue phase liquid crystal display.Compared with the matrix optic methods and the refractive method,the finite-difference timedomain method,which is used to directly solve Maxwell＇s equations,can consider the lateral variation of the refractive index and obtain an accurate convergence effect.The simulation results show that e-rays and o-rays bend in different directions when the in-plane switching blue phase liquid crystal display is driven by the operating voltage.The finitedifference time-domain method should be used when the distribution of the liquid crystal in the liquid crystal display has a large lateral change.

Numerical Solutions of Finite Well in Two Dimensions Using the Finite Difference Time Domain Method

The higher excited states for two dimensional finite rectangular well potential are calculated numerically,by solving the Schrödinger equation using the finite difference time domain method.Although,this method is suitable to calculate the ground state of the quantum systems,it has been improved to calculate the higher excited states directly.The improvement is based on modifying the iterative process involved in this method to include two procedures.The first is known as cooling steps and the second is known as a heating step.By determining the required length of the cooling iteration steps using suitable excitation energy estimate,and repeating these two procedures using suitable initial guess function for sufficient times.This modified iteration will lead automatically to the desired excited state.In the two dimensional finite rectangular well potential problem both of the suitable excitation energy and the suitable initial guess wave function are calculated analytically using the separation of variables technique.

An efficient locally one-dimensional finite-difference time-domain method based on the conformal scheme

An efficient conformal locally one-dimensional finite-difference time-domain（LOD-CFDTD） method is presented for solving two-dimensional（2D） electromagnetic（EM） scattering problems. The formulation for the 2D transverse-electric（TE） case is presented and its stability property and numerical dispersion relationship are theoretically investigated. It is shown that the introduction of irregular grids will not damage the numerical stability. Instead of the staircasing approximation, the conformal scheme is only employed to model the curve boundaries, whereas the standard Yee grids are used for the remaining regions. As the irregular grids account for a very small percentage of the total space grids, the conformal scheme has little effect on the numerical dispersion. Moreover, the proposed method, which requires fewer arithmetic operations than the alternating-direction-implicit（ADI） CFDTD method, leads to a further reduction of the CPU time. With the total-field/scattered-field（TF/SF） boundary and the perfectly matched layer（PML）, the radar cross section（RCS） of two2 D structures is calculated. The numerical examples verify the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method.

Finite-difference time-domain studies of low-frequency stop band in superconductor-dielectric superlattice

The transmission coefficients of electromagnetic （EM） waves due to a superconductor-dielectric superlattice are numerically calculated. Shift operator finite difference time domain （SO-FDTD） method is used in the analysis. By using the SO-FDTD method, the transmission spectrum is obtained and its characteristics are investigated for different thicknesses of superconductor layers and dielectric layers, from which a stop band starting from zero frequency can be apparently observed. The relation between this low-frequency stop band and relative temperature, and also the London penetration depth at a superconductor temperature of zero degree are discussed, separately. The low-frequency stop band properties of superconductor-dielectric superlattice thus are well disclosed.

High Precision Time Domain Forward Modeling for Crosshole Electromagnetic Tomography

To improve the resolution of crosshole electromagnetic tomography, high precision of forward modeling is necessary. A pseudo-spectral time domain （PSTD） forward modeling was used to simulate electromagnetic wave propagation between two boreholes. The PSTD algorithm is based on the finite difference time domain （FDTD） method and uses the fast Fourier transform （FFT） algorithm for spatial derivatives in Maxwell＇s equations. Besides having the strongpoint of the FDTD method, the calculation precision of the PSTD algorithm is higher than that of the FDTD method under the same calculation condition. The forward modeling using the PSTD method will play an important role in enhancing the resolution of crosshole electromagnetic tomography.

A global seventh-order dissipative compact finite-difference scheme is optimized in terms of time stability. The dissipative parameters appearing in the boundary closures are assumed to be different, resulting in an optimization problem with several parameters determined by applying a generic algorithm. The optimized schemes are analyzed carefully from the aspects of the eigenvalue distribution, the ε-pseudospectra, the short time behavior, and the Fourier analysis. Numerical experiments for the Euler equations are used to show the effectiveness of the final recommended scheme.

Benchmarking of two three-dimensional numerical models in time/space domain to predict railway-induced ground vibrations

In the last 30 years,the scientific community has developed and proposed different models and numerical approaches for the study of vibrations induced by railway traffic.Most of them are formulated in the frequency/wave number domain and with a 2.5D approach.Three-dimensional numerical models formulated in the time/space domain are less frequently used,mainly due to their high computational cost.Notwithstanding,these models present very attractive characteristics,such as the possibility of considering nonlinear behaviors or the modelling of excess pore pressure and non-homogeneous and non-periodic geometries in the longitudinal direction of the track.In this study,two 3D numerical approaches formulated in the time/space domain are compared and experimentally validated.The first one consists of a finite element approach and the second one of a finite difference approach.The experimental validation in an actual case situated in Carregado(Portugal)shows an acceptable fitting between the numerical results and the actual measurements for both models.However,there are some differences among them.This study therefore includes some recommendations for their use in practical soil dynamics and geotechnical engineering.

THE STUDY ON MEASURING TECHNIQUE OF PARTIAL DISCHARGE IN GAS INSULATED SWITCHGEAR USING ULTRA HIGH FREQUENCY METHOD WITH EXTERNAL SENSORS

Objective In order to find early latent faults and prevent catastrophic failures, diagnosis of insulation condition by measuring technique of partial discharge(PD) in gas insulated switchgear (GIS) is applied in this paper, which is one of the most basic ways for diagnosis of insulation condition. Methods Ultra high frequency(UHF) PD detection method by using internal sensors has been proved efficient, because it may avoid the disturbance of corona, but the sensor installation of this method will be limited by the structure and operation condition of GIS. There are some of electromagnetic (E-M) waves leak from the place of insulation spacer, therefore, the external sensors UHF measuring PD technique is applied, which isn't limited by the operation condition of GIS. Results This paper analyzes propagated electromagnetic (E-M) waves of partial discharge pulse excited by using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. The signal collected at the outer point is more complex than that of the inner point, and the signals' amplitude of outer is about half of the inner, because it propagates through spacer and insulation slot. Set up UHF PD measuring system. The typical PD in 252kV GIS bus bar was measured using PD detection UHF technique with external sensors. Finally, compare the results of UHF measuring technique using external sensors with the results of FDTD method simulation and the traditional IEC60270 method detection. Conclusion The results of experiment shows that the UHF technique can realize the diagnosis of insulation condition, the results of FDTD method simulation and the result UHF method detection can demonstrate each other, which gives references to further researches and application for UHF PD measuring technique.

High Order Finite Difference WENO Methods with Unequal-Sized Sub-Stencils for the Degasperis-Procesi Type Equations

In this paper,we develop twofinite difference weighted essentially non-oscillatory(WENO)schemes with unequal-sized sub-stencils for solving the Degasperis-Procesi(DP)andµ-Degasperis-Procesi(µDP)equations,which contain nonlinear high order derivatives,and possibly peakon solutions or shock waves.By introducing auxiliary variable(s),we rewrite the DP equation as a hyperbolic-elliptic system,and theµDP equation as afirst order system.Then we choose a linearfinite difference scheme with suitable order of accuracy for the auxiliary variable(s),and twofinite difference WENO schemes with unequal-sized sub-stencils for the primal variable.One WENO scheme uses one large stencil and several smaller stencils,and the other WENO scheme is based on the multi-resolution framework which uses a se-ries of unequal-sized hierarchical central stencils.Comparing with the classical WENO scheme which uses several small stencils of the same size to make up a big stencil,both WENO schemes with unequal-sized sub-stencils are simple in the choice of the stencil and enjoy the freedom of arbitrary positive linear weights.Another advantage is that thefinal reconstructed polynomial on the target cell is a polynomial of the same de-gree as the polynomial over the big stencil,while the classicalfinite difference WENO reconstruction can only be obtained for specific points inside the target interval.Nu-merical tests are provided to demonstrate the high order accuracy and non-oscillatory properties of the proposed schemes.

高阶SF-SFDTD方法在含时薛定谔方程求解中的应用研究

时域有限差分方法(finite-difference time-domain,FDTD(2,2))被广泛用于量子力学中薛定谔方程的求解,然而受Courant-Friedrichs-Lewy(CFL)条件的影响,计算空间中的网格尺寸会限制时间步长的取值范围,极大降低了FDTD(2,2)方法的数值计算效率.另外,FDTD(2,2)方法在时间域和空间域只具有二阶数值精度,在计算中往往会导致较大的误差累计,影响仿真结果的正确性.为了克服这些问题,结合空间滤波方法(spatial filtering,SF)和高阶辛时域有限差分(symplectic finite-difference time-domain,SFDTD(3,4))方法(3和4分别表示时间和空间数值精度),提出了一种时间稳定性条件可扩展的SF-SFDTD(3,4)方法用于求解含时薛定谔方程.SF-SFDTD(3,4)方法无需对传统SFDTD(3,4)方法的迭代公式进行进一步的推导,只需要在每一次的数值迭代过程中加入空间滤波操作,滤除因采用不满足CFL条件的时间步长而产生的不稳定空间域高频分量,保证数值方法的稳定性,因此所提方法与传统SFDTD(3,4)方法具有较高的兼容性.同时,理论分析了SF-SFDTD(3,4)方法的数值色散误差.最后,通过数值算例验证了本文所提方法的正确性和有效性.
