Maxwell’s Equations, Potentials, and Physical/Artificial Boundary Conditions
摘要
In this chapter, we will first introduce the time-dependent Maxwell’s equations and solution representations using scalar and vector potentials. Then, physical boundary conditions involving interfaces between dielectrics and conductors will be discussed. For computing scattering fields in infinite domains, several types of local artificial boundary conditions for computational domains will be presented, including the Engquist–Majda one-way boundary conditions, the high-order Bayliss–Turkel boundary conditions in auxiliary variable forms, and the uniaxial perfectly matched layered (UPML) boundary conditions.
