Electromagnetic simulation by the FDTD method in Java

Stephen Kirkup, Irfan A. Mulla, Goodchild Ndou, Javad Yazdani

Abstract

The FDTD (Finite Difference Time Domain) is the most popular method for transient electromagnetic simulation. A FDTD method is developed through applying Yee's algorithm and a Mur boundary condition. The method is implemented in Java using object-oriented design principles. The program can simulate and visualize an evolving electromagnetic field in any cuboidal, multiple material domain. The program is made available as open source from www.east-lancashire-research.org.uk (AR-08-17).
