Abstract

We describe two enhancements to the finite‐difference time‐domain (FDTD) method for the steady‐state power‐dissipation analysis of microwave‐heating cavities. The first enhancement accounts for the accumulated numerical errors in the simulation due to nonphysical reflection effects from the absorbing boundary condition (ABC). The second enhancement is a new convergence metric for the determination of steady state, using the variance of the power‐balance error in the system over a number of excitation periods. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract A new selective remeshing approach to efficiently utilize the finite‐difference time‐domain (FDTD) method for simulating 3D microwave heating cavities with rotating mode stirrers is presented here. The proposed scheme is implemented in a ∼300L multimode applicator and the result compare
