We develop, implement, and demonstrate a reflectionless sponge layer for truncating computational domains in which the time-dependent Maxwell equations are discretized with high-order staggered nondissipative finite difference schemes. The well-posedness of the Cauchy problem for the sponge layer eq

β¦ Synopsis
We review the scaling argument used to derive reflectionless wave absorbing layers for use as Absorbing Boundary Conditions (ABC) in numerical solutions of the elliptic and hyperbolic Maxwell equations in cylindrical and spherical coordinates, and show that thus obtained absorbing layers are described in the time-domain by causal, strongly well-posed hyperbolic systems. Representative results are given for scattering by cylinders. Also, we study the reflection of local ABC's in discrete space.

An unconditionally stable precise integration time-domain method is extended to 3-D circular cylindrical coordinates to solve Maxwell's equations. In contrast with the cylindrical finite-difference time-domain method, not only can it remove the stability condition restraint, but also make the numeri
It is shown that the complex coordinate stretching and diagonal anisotropy formulations of the perfectly matched layer are equi¨alent in a general orthogonal coordinate system setting. The results are obtained by taking ad¨antage of the tensorial in¨ariance of the line element.
## Abstract The electric double layer (EDL) and electroosmotic flows (EOFs) constitute the theoretical foundations of microfluidics. Numerical solution is one of the effective means of analysis in microfluidics. In general, it is difficult to obtain an accurate numerical solution of complex EOFs be
