Abstract

Marching on in time integral equation solvers provides an appealing avenue for analyzing transient electromagnetic interactions with large and complex structures. Unfortunately, these solvers often suffer from spatial (dense-mesh) breakdown phenomena when applied to the analysis of geometrically intricate and multiscale structures. Often, they also are susceptible to low-frequency instabilities. This presentation highlights the recent development of two solvers that address these breakdown phenomena by leveraging Calderon identities. The proposed solvers are shown to robustly and seamlessly apply to important engineering problems that span multiple temporal and spatial scales.
